iPad was disabled by a young child.

iPad was disabled by a young child. We don’t have a backup of the iPad and don’t want to delete everything. We know the correct passcode just need the screen to enter it. Is that possible?

iPad 2, iOS 9

No sorry. Once disabled the device has to wiped to get back in. This is why backups before something bad happens are critical.
