What you’re referring to is more properly termed a “Passcode” on an iPad.


See reset instructions here:


If you see an iPhone or iPad unavailable message or Security Lockout screen - Apple Support


NOTE: If your device is running an iOS prior to 15.2; follow the instructions linked near the bottom of the article.
