You can restore your iPad in order to regain access.

Welcome to iMore! You must restore your iPad by putting it in DFU mode and restoring connected to iTunes on a computer. There's no other way! None. You will lose your data on the iPad, including photos. In the future, be sure to write down your passwords and passcodes and put them in a safe place. Good luck!
To set the iPad back up, you will need your Apple ID and password.

I certainly hope you can think of your password. I forgot my iTunes encryption password. Luckily I did not have to reset my iPad to remove the password. I eventually one evening typed in a password that worked. One that was set before at some point. So before you erase your device keep seeing if you can either locate your password or remember.
