How do I unlock my ipad mini after it is disabled? I forgot the passcode and I did not sync it to itunes.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I tried holding the home button and connecting to itunes in safe mode to reset but I have never sync'd this ipad before so it keeps saying that it can't connect b/c of a password lock. HELP!!!
