Password or Passcode?
On the PC, you can’t manage the iPad Passcode. The iPad passcode is stored on your iPad alone; it cannot be set or synchronised from other locations. Your AppleID Password can be managed externally, either from another Apple device, or from a web browser.
If you have forgotten your iPad passcode, or your iPad is disabled, you’ll need to follow this process:

You’ll need access to either a PC (with iTunes installed) or a Mac (with iTunes or Finder - as appropriate for the installed version of MacOS).
You’ll also need your AppleID and associated password. If these have also been forgotten, they can be recovered here:
To recover your credentials, you’ll need access to one of the following:
- Your primary email address mailbox that corresponds with your AppleID
- Any of the secondary/recovery email addresses that should be configured for your AppleID account
- Any of the trusted telephone numbers (fixed line or Cellular/Mobile) that are associated with your AppleID
Unless you AppleID account has not been fully/correctly configured, or has been seriously neglected, recovery of the AppleID and password should not be difficult.

When you recover access to your credentials, you would be well advised to log-in to your AppleID account from a web browser - and verify/update any email addresses and trusted telephone numbers:
I hope this information and guidance proves to be helpful in resolving any difficulties.
