Yes, there is a way to unlock your iPad without losing your data if you have your Apple ID logged in. Here's how:

  1. On another device, go to iCloud.com and log in with your Apple ID.
  2. Click on "Find iPhone" and then select your iPad from the list of devices.
  3. Click on "Erase iPad" and then confirm that you want to erase the device. This will erase all data from your iPad and reset the password.
  4. Once the iPad is erased, you'll be given the option to restore your data from an iCloud backup. Choose the backup that you want to restore and follow the prompts to restore your data.
  5. Once the data is restored, you'll be able to access your iPad without the lock screen password.

Note: This method will only work if you have previously enabled the "Find My" feature on your iPad and have your Apple ID logged in. If you have not enabled this feature, you will not be able to use this method and will need to contact Apple Support for further assistance.
