If you have forgotten the passcode on your iPad, you will have to restore the iPad. See this, If you forgot the passcode on your iPad, or your iPad is disabled - Apple Support


This will wipe all data from the iPad, but you will be able to restore to your last backup. If you don't have a backup, then your data will be lost.

Is this to unlock the display? If so, and you cannot remember it, you’ll have to erase the device with iTunes to reset the screen lock passcode,


If you’re using the device and being prompted for a passcode, then it may be that screen lock code (e.g. when updating iOS) or it may be your AppleID password (e.g. activating iMessage or using the App Store).
