Try this first - I saw a recent post where a user with the same problem after an iOS update used his Apple ID password.
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

You will need to restore the iPad using Recovery Mode. Since you are using a computer that you have never synced with in the past, you will have to erase the device and will lose all content. You will be able to download your purchased content as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought the content with in the first place - as long as the content is still available and the downloading of past purchases is available in your country.

My iPad 2 is disabled. I know the passcode and apple id. How do I enable it?

My iPad 2 16Gb has been disabled because the wrong passcode was entered too many times. Since purchasing the iPad I never purchased anything from the Apple Store and after a couple years my passcode got misplaced.
A friend of mine in the church where I attend tried to help me and went to iTunes, erased the iPad and downloaded the new software. When it was time to activate the iPad, it demanded my apple id and original passcode at the time of purchase.
I searched and found it in my wallet but the last three characters were uncertain. The salesman used an "up-arrow r" for "R" and counted it as two characters; so the passcode only had 7 characters instead of 8. I thought the up-arrow was a "p" and it could have been capital or common. Then the "r" might have been a "k" because the way I wrote it. After many combinations, I ran out of tries and the iPad was disabled. Eventually I realized it was a "R" but too late.
I visited the Apple Support in my country and they were unable to do anything about it even though I had the right apple id and passcode. The security questions were the problem.
The first security question was my birth date and I was getting that wrong. Why, I don't know. How could I get that wrong. Not even my wife's birth date works. I began to question whether the salesman went through any security questions with us at all.
How do I enable the iPad knowing my apple id and passcode at the time of purchase?

The person who sold you the device can remove the ID without giving it to you. Follow the steos in "What to do if you no longer have the device." In the artcle below. If you can't find the person or they won't do it you're stuck with a unusable device.

Part of my ipad 3 screen isnt working after changing the inner and out sreen ?

parrt of my ipad 3 touch isnt working it worked fine till had to hange the outer screen which blew the lcd screen so replaced that as well and since then the lcd screen hasnt worked properly ?

This is an iPad user to user forum, so you are not addressing Apple. You probably forgot to connect something or damaged something.
Try this - Some iPad users have been able to revive their dropped iPad. Turn the iPad over and give it a HARD SLAP on the back. May take several slaps.
