You will need to have a PC with iTunes installed. If you don't already have iTunes, see the following: Download and use iTunes for Windows - Apple Support


Then turn off the iPad before connecting and then hold down the Home button if your iPad has one or the top button if it doesn't have a Home button. Keep holding it until you see the recovery screen. Click on the following for complete instructions: If you forgot the passcode on your iPad, or your iPad is disabled - Apple Support
