LOST PASSCODE
You should be able to remove the passcode by restoring the device. Do the following:
1. Connect the device to the computer to which you normally sync;
2. Open iTunes (Note: If iTunes prompts you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes" in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212 )
3. Right-click the device in the left column of iTunes and select Back up (read this article on how to restore http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 )
4. When the backup is complete, select Restore
5. When finished, restore from your most recent backup
To restore read the restore section in this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
If that doesn’t work you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it.

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.

A passcode cannot be recovered if forgotten. You can reset via recovery mode if disabled by following the instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 and may need to do that procedure more than once.

Are the messages successfully sent?
If so, what happens to a message after it is successfully sent has nothing to do with the cell phone that sent the message.

1) Restore the Device as New... See Section 6 here...

OR...
2) From a Backup created Before the Restrictions Code was set....

HT1212 i have forgotten my passcode and i have tried the restore option but it just wont work

I tried restoring it but it wont work it just keeps coming up with the sign saying "you cant use itunes with this device until you put in passcode". And its getting really fustrating please help

If you forgot (or don't know) your passcode, restore the device from backup on the last computer it was synced with when the passcode was turned on... this will remove the passcode. If you do not have access to the last computer it was synced with, you will have to force it into recovery mode & restore as a new device.

You need access to a computer running the latest version of iTunes.

I have totally forgotten my answers for the security and when i try to reset them by using the tutorial it says there should be a reset button at the bottom but there isn't one, please help

I am trying to but something on the appstore but since i had forgotten the answers to my security questions i am not able to do so.
I have tried resetting the questions by using tutorials but it says there should be a reset option at the bottom but there isn't one, what do I do?

Per the following, if there is no link to send a reset email then you need to contact Apple Support: If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions

I just got a 4th generation ipod touch from someone and there's a passcode. when i've tried to reset/restore it, itunes says i need to enter the passcode to continue. how do i unlock it?

when i clicked "restore" on itunes it started updating the ipod touch, but halfway through it says i need to enter the passcode. i let the whole download finish and it still says i need to enter the passcode. what do i do?

Are you sure you are following the instructions correctly? Placing the iPod in recovery mode wil allow you to bypass the passcode lock. If it's still asking you for the passcode, you aren't doing something correctly. Keep trying.
If no luck there, try DFU mode as well.
