I want to reset an old iPad to factory settings but can’t remember my restrictions passcode

Follow the steps provided in the Apple recommended post at the top of every page of the very thread you replied to, and numerous other posts in the 63 pages of thread to reset the Screen Time Passcode: (bolded blue text are links to further instructions):

If you forgot your Screen Time passcode, update your device to the latest iOS or iPadOS then reset your passcode. If you can’t update your device, erase it and set it up as new to remove the passcode and choose a new one. Restoring your device from a backup won't remove your passcode.

Restore to a backup taken when the code wasn't on the device, or reset the device back to factory defaults

See this, If you forgot your Screen Time passcode - Apple Support

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211021

This link will take you straight to the instructions on how to reset it very easily.

Start here:

If you forgot your Screen Time passcode - Apple Support

You can copy photos and videos from the Camera Roll album off : Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

And copy purchases off : File > Devices > Transfer Purchases

Then either restore to a backup (if it was taken when the restrictions code wasn't on the device), or reset it back to factory defaults

Copy the steps in the following link to restore the iPad and remove the restrictions passcode.

If you have a backup made before the passcode was put in place, you can use that to restore the iPad.

If the backup was made after the passcode was put in place, then you won't be able to use it ans the backup will just put the passcode and restrictions back.

See here: Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

Erase your iPhone using your home computer with iTunes and do NOT restore from backup. You will have setup your iPhone as new and download your apps and content manually back to your phone.

Use this link --> If you forgot the passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support

If you can't remember what you set it to, restore to a backup (if it was taken when the code wasn't on the device), or reset the device back to factory defaults (for both, first copy off anything that you want to keep)

There is no way apple can reset the password.

There won't be, the code is only stored on the device, it's not stored on your account or anywhere else to be able to be reset by them.

If you have a backup taken before you put the code on the phone you can restore to that instead of resetting to factory defaults.
