One of iPad’s passwords is the passcode, which you use to unlock your iPad to wake it form sleep. You can also create another passcode to block and restrict content from other people who share the device. However, your Apple ID password which unlocks the App Store and other Apple services is the most important.

You are not able to use your device without providing your iPad passcode. And you should know that every time you enter a wrong one, you risk the device staying locked for an longer time, or gets disabled completely. And if you forgot your Apple ID password, you can use your iPad without part of functions such as downloading apps or saving files to iCloud.
