Hello,


If your iPad is in this mode then there is nothing you can do except restore it to factory settings. This will completely erase the iPad.


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

If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
