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.

HT1212 ipod touch disabled due to too many incorrect password attempts - problem is I know the password

My daughter's ipod touch is locked due to too many incorrect password attempts (thanks to her little brother). It is displaying the red bar that states ipod is disabled connect to itunes. Problem is we don't have the computer that the ipod was originally synced with and she doesn't want to reset the ipod. In this instance we know the password.. so is there anyway to get the ipod to ask us one more time to enter the password? I'm not sure how many incorrect attempts were made, but it doesn't state anything about try again in so many minutes.. help, please!

HT1212 iPod touch disabled help!

It says here that you can configure a device to erase itself. It's off by default but you can turn it on by tapping settings>pass code lock. How do you do this when the iPod is disabled and won 't let you do anything? My son entered a new password and doesn't remember it. His iPod is disabled and he never synced with our computer. I've followed the steps to restore it and it just keeps telling me you must enter the password. Can 't I just restore it with my apple account and password? If I go into manage my iTunes account and click devices it appears. What can I do?

" How do you do this when the iPod is disabled and won 't let you do anything? "
You don't
Restore the ipod.
IF this fails then put it into revovery mode as the article you linked describes

HT1212 iPod touch disabled but I HAVE the passcode...

Is there any way I can restore it with out erasing all the data?
my son lucked out of his iPod touch (4th)... but I have his passcode... the problem is that I haven't synced it with iTunes in ages... (bad mommy...) and all of his games progress are going to be lost if I erase and restore it as instructed.... (not talking about the actual Apps that he'll loose but the progress of the game, data etc...) is there any other way to do it?
thank you!!!!!

You may be able to backup. Otherwise you will have to restore using the last backup you have. Some games maintain status on servers and for those games status will not be lost

HT1212 iPod Touch disabled due to passcode

I tried sync-ing the ipod to itunes. We had to download itunes first, since we've never used it. I am told that we just sync the ipod to the computer and it will automatically do a system restore. Itunes cannot get into the ipod because of the passcode. It was never sync'd before, so it doesn't know it. Now what do we do?

Restore, if iTunes will let you. Everything except the password will be restored. Connect via cable to a computer with iTunes. Be forewarned that it takes a long time. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

my ipod touch disabled and my p.c not working what do i do

Thgen the iPod needs a wifi connection to the internet and yo need another iPod, iPhone or iPad with the FindMyiPhone app. you can also yse any computer too
Only if:
If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and 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.
You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
Via USB with any computer with iTunes and an internet connection
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
