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.

Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering incorrect passcode

In case this doesn't show up....I am trying to restore my ipad due to the fact my girls forgot passcode....when I hook up to PC and try to incorporate itunes, it will not come up maybe because I have no itunes on my ipad...can anyone give me any suggestions, as of now I have disabled the ipad trying for a passcode...
You do have iTunes on the iPad. You need to have iTunes on the PC because you need to restore it now.
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.
Try this ..... You will have to use recovery mode

HT4097 Help restoring disabled ipad 4 that has not been synced to a computer.
I tried to restore my iPad 4, but at the end of the process iTunes says it's unable to restore because there is a password. Then it tells me to enter my password, but the iPad is disabled. Any suggestions?
You can't.
If your contacts are being synced over the air with one of several free email accounts that support it such as with an Apple iCloud account, Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail, you don't need to do this. Your contacts will be restored after Contacts are turned back on for over the air syncing with the email account that supports it. -

HT1212 Trying to restore my iPad.
I tried to restore my iPad using the recovery method, but half way through the process, iTunes said it couldn't connect to my iPad and that I would have to enter my password before connecting it to iTunes. My iPad is back at square 1 and says "iPad disabled. Connect to iTunes."

Updated iPad 1 to IOS 5. When trying to restore my iPad from my backup it gets half way through and the iPad reboots and iTunes says "An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-1)"
I have tried to restore my contacts and company data at least 20 times and every time half way through THE iPAD REBOOTS! When it boots back up it is at the brand new iPad screen.
This makes me angry as I do not use the iPad for fun and games. I use it for business. My company data and records for the last year are gone. ALL of my out standing customer invoices are gone. ALL payments received are gone! ALL Business contacts and emails ARE GONE! All my company, personal email accounts and settings ARE GONE!
What am I supposed to do now? In 6 hours I have to get on the road and conduct business with a empty blank factory out of the box iPad. How am I supposed to know who owes me money or who has paid their bills Apple? All of my meetings and calendar dates are GONE!
Everything was supposed to be backed up and restored after the update!
Question???WHY DID YOU MAKE THIS UPDATE WIPE OUT ALL SETTINGS AND APPS ON THE iPAD??? All the other updates left everything on the iPad intact and ONLY upgraded the IOS,and when it was done everything was still there.
Yes! I have done everything. Rebooted computer, checked for updates, Hard booted iPad, Factory restored iPad to ios 5 twice, tried every usb port I have, unplugged all other usb components.
Everytime half way through "Restoring iPad from backup..." The iPad turns off shows a spinning circle then shows the Apple logo and takes me to the brand new iPad setup screen.
Apple, you have no idea the level of stress you have created today.....Check the console app to see if there are any error messages. I had one app showing an issue (Pet Hotel) the error was (truncated):
ERROR: Restore message response: 102 rename error: File name too long (63) at path "/var/mobile/Library/SafeHarbor/com.pocketgems.tappethotel/Container/Documents/ savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHis tory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGa meHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/sa vedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHisto ry/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGame History/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/save dGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory /savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHi story/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedG ameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/s avedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHist ory/savedGameHistory/1313349538-pocket_gems_crash_report.txt" (MBErrorDomain/102)
I manually snyc'ed that particular app and then re-ran the restore and am now the proud owner of a working iphone. Not sure it is the same problem or app but looking in the console was the key! -

Okay so the battery on my iPad doesn't work, I'm not sure why but my iPad only works when it is on the charger, I have left it on the charger all day but it still stays at 1% battery. Also I'm in a bit of a pickle as I have also forgotten my password (For the iPad) and I am currently trying to restore the iPad. I have tried restoring it and it has the symbol saying "Connect to itunes" while being on iTunes and restoring/updating the software in my iPad my iPad turns back on, and then iTunes requests the password for the iPad (which i have forgotten) and it is unable to complete the update. So yes I'm not sure why the battery doesn't work, it may have been a charging problem? idk and I also have tried all the passwords I would know. I ended up locking my iPad out for 600 hours ish. Also before I had the sudden urge to use my iPad it had been unused fpr about 2-3 months. I'm unsure of the operating system, I suspect it is iOS.6.1? or earlier.
Also I have a new PC so I haven't backed it up before or synced it on the new PC, I don't really mind losing and data.Not sure if this also helps but I think my iPad is iPad 3, I have the small charging outlet.
