If your iPad is disabled, or you have forgotten your iPad passcode, you’ll need to follow this process:
https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT211078
You’ll need access to either a PC (with iTunes installed) or a Mac (with iTunes or Finder - as appropriate for the installed version of MacOS). Use of a PC or Mac computer is unavoidable, but the computer doesn’t have to be your own - that of a helpful friend or family member will suffice.
If your iPad is not being recognised by the computer, these support pages may be helpful with troubleshooting:
If your computer doesn't recognize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod - Apple Support
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support
If you see an error in Finder or iTunes on your computer – Apple Support
You’ll also need your AppleID and associated password. If these have also been forgotten, they can be recovered here:
To recover your credentials, you’ll need access to one of the following:
- Your primary email address mailbox that corresponds with your AppleID
- Any of the secondary/recovery email addresses that should be configured for your AppleID account
- Any of the trusted telephone numbers (fixed line or Cellular/Mobile) that are associated with your AppleID
Unless you AppleID account has not been fully/correctly configured, or has been seriously neglected, recovery of the AppleID and password should not be difficult.

When you recover access to your credentials, you would be well advised to log-in to your AppleID account from a web browser - and verify/update any email addresses and trusted telephone numbers:
