Question Can't get into my iPad Mini 2.

[bugeyed]

My infrequently used iPad 2 had depleted battery. I charged it & when it started it asked for a 6 digit pass code. I have never had a pass code & when I did, it was always 4 digit. I hooked it to a trusted PC & iPad says "Unlock iPad to use accessories." This unit was working when I put it away. What can I do to get it back?
Edit: Did a Home/connect to PC/update. After the process, when the iPad started it said Press home to upgrade then asked for the 6 digit pass code again!!! I just need to get it working even if I wipe it & start fresh.

Thanks,
Kev

We can not help bypass the code. You'll need to contact Apple for support. Thread closed
