If it is the iPad Lock Screen passcode:

If you forgot a passcode that you changed within the last 72 hours, see the "If you recently changed passcodes, use your old passcode to temporarily sign in" section of: If you see a iPhone, iPad, or Apple Vision Pro unavailable message or Security Lockout screen - Apple Support


Otherwise, see the other sections of that article


If neither of the above is an option, you will need to use a computer. See: If you forgot your iPad passcode, use your Mac or PC to reset it - Apple Support


or if it is the Apple Account password:

There is an Apple article that explains what to do if you have forgotten your Apple Account password. Click on the following link: If you forgot your Apple Account password - Apple Support
