forgot my password to my ipad

If you forgot a passcode that you changed within the last 72 hours, see the "If you recently changed passcodes, use your old passcode to temporarily sign in" section of: If you see a iPhone, iPad, or Apple Vision Pro unavailable message or Security Lockout screen - Apple Support

Otherwise, see the other sections of that article

If neither of the above is an option, you will need to use a computer. See:

If you forgot your iPhone passcode or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support

or

If you forgot your iPad passcode, use your Mac or PC to reset it - Apple Support

Or if you meant that you forgot the password for your Apple Account, see: If you forgot your Apple Account password - Apple Support
