iPad mini iPad disabled connect to iTunes screen

Has anybody had this occur to an iPad Mini? TIA

Which IPad, IPad OS? What is the history of this iPad - is it new? Was it working and then you got this message, etc.

My old iPad Mini2 Model A 1489. Yes it was working prior to this Lock Screen

It needs to be reset completely. This screen usually only shows if the device passcode was entered wrong 10 times. In that case there is no way to regain access to any data and the device has to be wiped. It's a security feature so that if the device is stolen nobody can try to unlock the device. Unfortunately the screen with this message isn't communicating clearly what is going on, but that's it.

What @okkibs referred to:

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

Locked out of your iPad and forgot your iPad passcode? Use a computer to get your iPad into recovery mode so you can erase it and set it up again.

That’s interesting since I never forgot my password for this device. I happened to decide to use the day I found the screen locked instead of my iPhone.

Perhaps there's someone or a child attempting the password without your knowledge.
