I assume you mean passcode, not password.
The instructions below may work if you have forgotten a passcode but will not work if your device says it is disabled. For a disabled device you will have to use the instructions in the next link. This will require a computer. If you do not have one then ask a friend if you can use theirs or take you device to a place where you can use one such as an Apple Store.
If you’ve forgotten the passcode on your iPad, or your iPad is disabled

For a forgotten passcode with no "disabled" message and you have no computer:
1. Use the Find My app, or a web browser signed into https://www.icloud.com/find , to erase the disabled device. More at iCloud: Erase your device with Find My iPhone - https://support.apple.com/guide/icloud/erase-your-device-mmfc0ef36f/icloud
2. Restore the device from its backup.
