The Related Article linked above describes how to reset the iPad passcode.
Here is how to use a Windows PC or Mac to reset the passcode: If you forgot your iPad passcode - Apple Support
Would this be your iPad Passcode, or AppleID Password?
A forgotten or unknown iPhone/iPad passcode cannot be recovered - and neither can it be reset or modified from another device. If you see a waiting period you can wait and try again to input the correct Passcode; otherwise, the iPad must be restored.

You will be able to restore data from a pre-existing iCloud backup without the use of a computer, but will require a PC/Mac to restore data from an iTunes backup.
iPadOS 15.1 and earlier - and all devices that are Disabled
If your iPhone/iPad indicates that it is disabled/unavailable/locked-out, or you have forgotten your iPad passcode, you have no alternative other than to follow this process:
If you’ve forgotten the passcode on your iPad, or your iPad is disabled – Apple Support
You’ll need access to either a Windows PC (with iTunes for Windows installed) or a Mac (with iTunes or Finder - as appropriate for the installed version of macOS).
Download and use iTunes for Windows – Apple Support
Update to the latest version of iTunes – Apple Support
Use of a PC or Mac is unavoidable. If you don’t have access to a suitable computer of your own, that of a helpful friend or family member will suffice. Alternatively, the technicians at the Genius Bar of your local Apple Store will be delighted to assist:

No, you can’t back up the data now. Not without the passcode.

If you see one of the messages the support document you posted from points out, then follow the steps in the support document to restore the iPad and set a new passcode.
There's no way around that at this point.

If you take the time to read the comprehensive replies already provided within this thread, you'll find your answer. 🙂
I don't know if you've had the problem resolved, but here's what I've shared from my experience, and I hope it helps.
If the passcode is correct, and your device keeps saying that this passcode is incorrect, then it's likely that your iPad has some sort of operational glitch
I had a similar problem with my iPhone 13 once, and gave me a hint: Hey! Maybe my passcode is the right one and this is just a system error!
I then restarted the device and waited patiently for the timer to expire, tried my passcode again, and the result was that I turned on my iPhone 13 without any problem.
If rebooting doesn't work, I think updating to the latest iOS or iPad OS might solve the problem.
