Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. 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.

My ipad mini is disabled, when i try and restore it with itunes it says the ipad needs to respond, i can't respond because i can't unlock it?! Help?

My ipad mini is disabled and says try again in 24,434,453 minutes?! When i try and restore it, itunes says my ipad needs to respond. i can't unlock it to respond because it's disabled?

If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.

Ipad mini has disabled!!!

my sons ipad mini has disabled. the screen went black as he was playing on it and wouldnt turn off. I managed to turn it off by pressing the sleep and home buttons together for 10 seconds and now it wont turn back on. I have plugged it in to charge to see if that makes any difference but it just keeps beeping while it is plugged in. please please help as this was a christmas present off his dad and i really dont want to have to tell him that my son broke it!!!!!

Looks like the computer is restoring your iPad.
Suggest you do not disconnnect iPad until computer say that the sync is completed.
After that try to reset by press the Sleep and Home button until you see the Apple Logo.
There is a possibility that there's a problem with your iPad screen.

Ipad mini going disabled on first correct attempt at passcode. Has happened three times. had to restore with iTunes each time. Is this one a dud?

Does the screen respond properly to your typing? If it handles other typing correctly, leave the passcode off and see if it wakes and works properly.
If it has problems with recognition of typing, take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs check it out.

First try a Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons
If no joy... See Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

HT1212 Hello my kids Ipad mini is disabled, so I connected to the computer and now its asking for the passcode, which is not know. How do i set a new passcode?

Forgetten Passcode for Ipad mini, How do I reset the passcode?
Thx

You can't just reset the passcode. You'll have to restore the device.
Follow the directions in this link:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that doesn't work, you need to use recovery mode:

Next time write the passcode somewhere safe for future reference.

HT1212 ipad mini disabled - tried Apple's suggestion and it still didn't work

I locked myself out of my Ipad Mini and I went on Apple's website to try to do a factory reset or something that would unlock it.
I tried the following suggestion:
If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
"iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
"You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
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.
THIS DID NOT WORK! I'm back to square one after it detected the device in recovery mode it took 10 minutes to do a restore and the device is still locked up. What are my other options?

Recovery Mode Step by Step
1. Hold Sleep/Wake button down and slide to turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTune (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTune and plug.
5. Release Home button.
