I was updating iPad through iTunes to restore because I forgot my passcode, the I bumped it andI heard the Windows 11 USB disconnected sound now my iPad is stuck, black screen, Apple logo, and progress bar. It's not responsive, I've tried DFU mode, hard restart, and all the fixes and nothing works. Please, this iPad is important to me. Please help.

You may have brick your iPad. ☹️
Dimes to donuts it’s bricked. Anytime you interrupt a process like this the device is bricked.
