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.
Cheers, Tom

Goodreader--how TURN OFF reflow text on ipad?
relow text is great, but i don't understand how to turn it off so i can view images and diagrams.
I don't normally use reflow, but just tried it and all I did was select the document name in the upper left corner and it returned to the normal PDF view.

I forgot my ipad passcode. I tried:
1. Simply to restore the ipad on the computer it is normally synced with, but it askes me to enter the passcode.
2. to restore ipad using the recovery mode option. However when I try this iTunes askes me to turn off the "find my ipad" cloud option (which of course I cannot do as I cannot open the ipad).
3. to remotely erase my ipad, but as it is locked down it does not seem to be connecting to the internet and hence cannot seen through my "find my ipad".
I am completely stuck! Any suggestions please?!?!?I forgot my ipad passcode. I tried:

I have a new iphone 5c. How can I turn off the passcode. Unlike previous models it does not show Passcode under settings - general !! Can anyone help? Susie
Thank you Chris. Yes I did know that but it was not clear how to turn it off. All the forums visited said it was under general. I have since found a site called iAnswerGuy which describes how to turn it off step by step. Thank you very much for coming back to me so quickly. Susie

I cannot turn off the passcode feature on my iPad 2. I have done what they say, it says it's off, I got an email that says I am no longer protected, but the horrid passcode that comes constantly is still there. Ready to throw it away, and was previously addicted.
Are you sure that it is still asking for a passcode and not for your SIM PIN which looks very similar?

Can't turn off my passcode lock.
Hi, i can't turn off mu passcode. The section of "Turn passcode of" isn't valid. It is passive and i can't select that.
Lots of companies, if you access your work email from your phone, require that, to protect company information, you have a password. As part of the Exchange set up, a profile is installed on your phone that can enforce the password requirement. I'm sure your IT department knows about the requirement as they would have had to set it up. You should discuss it with them. If they refused to change the settings, you'll either have to live with the passcode lock or not get your work email on your phone.
Best of luck. -

HT2458 How do you turn off voicemail passcode
Without a reset, my iPhone is asking for a passcode to retrieve messages. I tried to input my phone number but it didn't work,
Is there a way to turn off the passcode Or any other suggestionsWhich carrier do you have? Once you have entered the passcode for your Visual Voicemail, it should not prompt you for it again. You cannot turn off the passcode, but as I said, once it is entered, it should remain and not prompt you for it again. I have a help document for AT&T, but that is all.
