You will need to restore it as new. unfortunately you will lose any data not saved but you can still redownload all of your apps.

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 canceling 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.

My ipad got stolen! Any way to track it immediately without using find my iphone?
Hey guys, i stayed at a hotel left my iPad there, contacted the hotel, they said they couldnt look for it since people were staying in there (how stupid) and obviously those people took it or house cleaning...is there any way i can find it or track the location!? I already used find my iPhone and locked it etc....Help!!
If you have not enabled Find My iPad, you cannot track, lock or wipe your iPad.
Change your iCloud password so that they cannot make changes or delete your data.

When using Find my iPhone, can't see the detail of my devices - just ip[hone or ipad - I have a couple of iphones, one missing, and can figure out which one to deactivate.
Is there no way to identify devices from each other?
Can't find any help in icloud either.What ever device you still have on had. Go to settings - general - about - name - then the name.
I have 4 devices 2 iphone and ipad - which I've name differently so I don't get confused when using find my iphone. -
I have just aquired an iPod Touch 2nd Generation 8GB. When it is connected to my PC, running Vista home, it says it has synced successfully but I can,t transfer onto it an album I have bought and downloaded from iTunes. Help!!! This is my first Apple product so I have no experience and no manual.
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer? If so you can only use the manual method and that only works with music and videos.

please help my daughter has locked her ipad
the ipad hasnt been sync with any computerYou'll have to restore the ipad through recovery mode.
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device. -

Follow the directions on the support document that you linked to the forum with. Your only option is to restore the device as a new phone.

I have multiple iphones and want to use find my iphone how do I track more than 1 phone
How do I set up multiple iPhones on 1 account for "find my iPhone"?
Find My iPhone is tied to the iCloud account that each device is using. You can track all your phones without sharing the same iCloud account by going to icloud.com, signing into the account that the phone you want to track is using, and clicking Find My iPhone. This can also be done from your phone by using the Find My iPhone app (available in the App store).
Of course, you could track them all using a single ID if you were willing to share the iCloud account across all the phones. However, there are significant disadvantages to doing this. They would all share the same 5GB of free iCloud storage, the same iCloud email account, the same photo stream, and all the synced data (contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc.) would be merged across all of the phones. If they belong to different people, you would end up with each other's data on your phones. -
I have been trying to Sync my IPAD to my computer for over an hour, I cannot get it to show that it's "plugged" in. I keep getting the "not charging" showing in my upper corner. Is there anything I can do to get it to sync?
There is nothing wrong with the cable as I just synced my IPHONE and have synced with my IPAD in the past. I am beyond frustrated.Let me take up the comment by King Penguin who is right about the charging issue with some computers: not all USB 2 ports are equal apparently. However, I did read somewhere that even those that are not showing a charging may allow some trickle-charging to occur (take you about 12 hours to notice anything).
However, I think the problem here is that not only is charging not taking place, but the iPad is not shown in the sidebar. There are usually two possible causes here: the hardware (which in BrookeLeigh's case could be the iPad or its connector) or the software.
In the latter case, no iOS device will probably be shown (IPad, iPhone or iPod touch), which could be what is afflicting tahnehdo. Nonetheless, before trying some of the fixes Apple suggests, a check with another cable (or computer -- be careful not to sync) might tell you if this is hardware.
If not, Apple KB documents are useful in tracking down and fixing the problem. Start with this http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/itunes/ Troubleshooting guide and work your way through. Note there are different processes for Windows and Macs.
It would be helpful if you could put some more information as even knowledge of the OS will mean a different approach may need to be taken. We do not know if it is iPad 1 or 2, the OS, the computer you have or if you have other iOS devices that could help you in analysis. -
I just updated my iPhone 4 to 6.0, and when I launch maps, the 3D button and compass arrow are there in the corner, but when the App actually loads, it disappears... Is it not available in Canada? Is there any way I can enable it???
I would wager the 3GS and 4 don't have the CPU to handle the rendering they were showing on the keynote. Must be one of the reasons 6 won't support the original iPad either, which has the same CPU as the 4.

Please if anyone has had this problem please help me, as I am getting annoyed with it.
Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc. -
When we tried to log in my Apple ID, just to make sure if I wasn't on find my iPhone, I discovered that my apple ID password was re-set. I want to find out who did it or where it was done. I also want to know if I can get it back - because when using an iPhone, there's a registry in the beginning right? So my product code or serial number must pop up again in a different name. Right?
It does make a difference, check here:
