You may have to do this several times.
Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘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.

    Hello Kewal,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to perform an update.  I recommend trying to update using iTunes, and as always, it is a good idea to make a backup first.

    PLeas i need activation code for my ipad becouse i cant open it ana i know the apple id and password

    Only the person who initiated the Activation Lock can remove it. if purchased used/2cd hand,
    contact the seller for assistance. This is what they need to do:
    Prepare your device to sell or give away
    If seller refuses or cannot be contacted, the iPad is useless. There is no workaround for
    Activation Lock.

    If you are the original purchaser, gather up proof of purchase and take that proof + the iPad
    to a physical Apple store where they may be able to assist you.
    What is the exact complete wording of the error message you are receiving?

  • HT1222 What is a pass code,for this next up date.never been asked that before

    What's the pass code for this next update.never been asked that in the past

    The passcode you need to enter is the passcode you set on your device. It is the passcode that you enter when you turn on your iPad or awaken it from sleep after and Auto lock.
    If you do not know or remember your password and did not store it somewhere then you will have to restore your device.

  • HT4623 setting a pass code on the Ipad

    Several weeks ago I updated the software on my ipad2.  After completing, I needed a pass code.  I never set a pass code so therefore I had to restore the ipad.  (one major headache!).  I'd like to update the software, but I do not want to go through this again.  How do you go about setting a pass code on the Ipad.  I'm new to all of this and want to find out more about the Icloud too.

  • HT1316 what is a puk code and how do i get a sim code for my ipad 1

    what is a PUK coade and how do i get a sim code for my ipad !? i was factory restoring my ipad and received a box asking for the puk and sim code? please help i am totally locked out.

    If you don't know the PIN or PUK, you'll need to contact your cell carrier for assistance and perhaps a replacement SIM.
    For the short term, if you remove the SIM you may then be able to get into your iPad, though I'm not certain. It's worth a try, though.
    Regards.
