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.

My ipad is disabled i cannot restore it because i never connected it to my itunes?

Recently i got an iPad mini. i never connected it to my iTunes. I had a security code on it, and my baby cousin disabled it by trying to unlock it. I connected it to my iTunes and started it in recovery mode, it tried to restore and update but it didn't finish and its still disabled. I need help !!?

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
- Then try on another computer

I bought a ipad air, but i cannot unlock after shipment is received

ipad cannot be unlocked after received, please advice

I understand you.
But if you open your packet, the driver is gone, and you realize there is something missing (Ex: laptop unit)?
You cannot know what's inside until you open it, and most of the people don't expect to get robbed like this.
I had never expected to open a packet and find it to be empty or missing something, that has just never happened.
Otherwise they would just send you 12 eggs inside...

My ipad is disabled how to unlock ipad pass code forgotten the passcode

I had forgotten my ipad passcod and it got dissable how to unloack my ipad without passcode

If you've forgotten the passcode to unlock it then you will need to connect it to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode in order to be able to reset it : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If you do it via a computer that it's not synced, and which therefore doesn't have a backup on it, then :
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.

New ipad continues to freeze, cannot unlock

my ipad continues to freeze even after restoring factory settings twice, what should i do now?

I've read different opinions (and personal stories) about whether the battery drains in sleep mode. All I know is that mine does not seem to drain. I was just noticing this last night. Before I went to bed my battery meter read 97%. I simply closed the smart cover to put it in sleep mode (I heard the click). When I opened the cover this morning it was still at 97%. I used it for about 15 minutes and only then did it drop to 96%. I did not turn off any wifi or location settings.
I should disclose that my battery meter was acting weird the other day. After a full charge, it was stuck on 100% during a few hours of light use (internet, email, kindle) before dropping again. Maybe my meter is just screwed up, but it seemed to be back to normal again and draining at a normal rate prior to my observation about it not draining at all during sleep mode.

My ipad is disabled connect iTunes and i couldn't do anything with the screen

please help how unlock my ipad due multible atemp incorrect pass code

If you have forgotten the iPad passcode and you cannot unlock the device, you have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
Instructions can be found here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
You will probably need to restore using Recovery Mode. You can read about it here.
