You can recover your password by following these instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5787
And no, if you didn't set up a method for recovery, you will never get your password back. Apple ID passwords aren't something you should lose.
no its my passcode to go into my Ipad
Go here to recover that pass code:
Different problem.
Unfortunately, it's going to be difficult. Follow the instructions here:

You will need to restore your iPad from a backup on iTunes or iCloud.
OMG THX SO SO SO SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
That's why we're here. 🙂
Thanks for the advice here, I'm following the instructions but just want to share my story so that others may learn (or at least share my pain!). We've passed on an old 3G iPad3 to a relative. They don't have wifi so I sat beside them while we set it up tethered to my iPhone. After setting up a passcode, 5 mins later they couldn't remember it and after multiple attempts the iPad is now disabled. I did turn "Find my iPhone" on but I hadn't yet setup the 3G connection so, when locked, the iPad won't connect to my tethered iPhone and therefore can't be wiped remotely.
Following the instructions on here I have now plugged it into a laptop with iTunes and am doing a complete restore. However, and this is the really frustrating bit, despite the iPad being fully up to date (iOS 7.0.4) iTunes on the laptop is insisting on downloading the full 1.34GB of the operating system. As there is no wifi it is doing this via my tethered iPhone. After about 800MB something went wrong with the tethered connection and the download stopped with an error. When I restarted it it went back to zero! Another 800MB in and the iPad seemed to timeout, again disrupting the download and sending it back to zero. I'm now on my third attempt at downloading iOS via my tethered iPhone and I'm rapidly burning through my monthly data allowance!
My suggestion to users is if you're setting up an iPad for someone else, make sure they write down their passcode! My suggestions for Apple (which I realize won't be heard on here) is to remove the need for iTunes to download the OS if the device is already upto date AND make the download process smart so that if something happens it doesn't reset to zero.
I was having the hardest time restoring an Ipad mini due to a lost password. I followed the instructions here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US but couldn't get Itunes to acknowledge the Ipad in recovery mode even though the image on the Ipad had changed to the one with the Apple logo and a mini USB cable (Ipad was in recovery mode). Finally I switched the cable from the special IPad, 10 watt powered USB outlet to the standard USB outlet. This change caused Itunes to recognize the device immediately? So, this is just a note to let you know that at least on my system the the newer "prefered" IPad charging outlets may not allow a connection for an Ipad in recovery mode. *Also this Ipad have never been synced to the Mac I was using (maybe that matters?).
