Why won’t my iPad Pro recognize passcode after a force start?

I was experiencing glitches in Apps so today did a reset and using iCloud a restoral. Typed my passcode in according to the setup and was taken to my desktop. All ws good. Later I did a forced shutdown. Now my passcode isn’t being recognized. It’s the same passcode I have for this older iPad Pro and my iPhone so I KNOW I’m not using the wrong passcode. What can I do now?
