Due to the mischief of my cousins, they have made my ipad air "ipad is disabled connect to itunes"

as the title depicts it, I was searching for answers on how to enable my ipad again, but all the answers suggested i have to reset it due to my passcode being lost. But i never lost my passcode, i know what it is, so my question is how to enable my ipad again without resetting? this ipad holds very important documents and i never backed them up to the icloud.

iPad Air, iOS 8.1.2

If it's showing the disabled screen then it's too late to copy any content off it or take a backup (you haven't been backing up to your computer's iTunes either ?) - you can try a soft-reset but you will probably get the same disabled screen : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appeara), after which the Apple logo should appear and it will reboot.


Disabled device : Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled.
