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 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.
Cheers, Tom

Hi all, My ipad has been disabled due to incorrect password keyed. I know I can recover it by connecting it to the old pc that was used to sync with this ipad.Yet, my real problem is that that old PC has was not working any more...pls help...:(
You have to restore the device within iTunes. There is no other way to do it. You need a computer. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
This will tell you how to restore
iTunes: Backing up, updating or restoring iOS software
If you cannot restore that way, you may have to use recovery mode

HT1414 I am unable to restore my device as my ipad has been disabled.
I am unable to restore my device as my ipad has been disabled. This was caused by enetering the incorrect security code too many times. However, i know that security code entered was in fact correct so do not understand why it would not unlock.
No i actually locked my screen straight away after creating the code just to test it. That's what makes it so frustrating is that there is no way the code i entered was wrong. I ended up trying 0000 incase their was a sort of default code but nothing. When setting up the code you have to enter it twice to make sure you don't make an error, so i know i have been entering the right code.

My ipad has been disabled and off for almost a year already i want to restart my ipad but doesnt want to charge is there any way i can make my ipad turn on or restart i alreaady tried charging it for acouple hours and clicking the middle and top button at the same time but it still doesnt work.... is there any other way to restart my ipad?
You don't just click the home and sleep button, you have to hold them down for at least 10 seconds while it is connected to the charger. If it comes awake (and it could take several tries) ignore the red Off slider, wait for the Apple logo and then let go of the buttons.
But that may not work. Polymer Ion batteries need exercise, a full power cycle is recommended once a month. Your battery may be dead. -
My iPad has been disabled due to wrong passcode which I have forgotten,How can open it again?I'm so desperate right now
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
You may have to force iPad into Recovery Mode

My ipad has been disabled how do undisable it so i can use it again
My Ipad has been disabled because i enterd the password to many times how do i make it so i can undisable it please help this is my life line for work?
Thanks KdrobbinYou will have to restore/erase it to remove the Disabled status, then you can restore form a backup once it's up and running again, if you have a backup on iTunes or iCloud.
Source: iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
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.
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes -
