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.
Cheers, Tom

Yes it does. Also, if you were using iOS 7+ and had Find my iPhone activated, you will need your apple id and password to be able to use the phone again.

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.

My AppStore account has been disabled how do I enable it again?
My AppStore account has been disabled what do I have to do to enable it again, I have changed my password but that didn't work.
If you've successfully changed your password (does your account work on your computer's iTunes ?) then try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.
Otherwise you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store -

My Touchpad has been disabled how do i enable?
my touchpad has been disabled i want to know how to enable it?
I assume you are refering to the MBP trackpad. Open the MBP and inspect if the battery has swollen and is interfering with the trackpad. If not and is totally unresponsive, an appointment at an Apple store genius bar would be in order.

My iTunes account has been disabled how do i enable it
my itunes account has been diabled and i need hel enabling it?
It does not re-enable the account. I've emailed support but that will take 48 hours. Is there no way to re-enable it without contacting support? I've never had an account that wouldn't send me an email so I could just fix it in a matter of minutes. Oh yeah...this is Apple/ATT.
