issue with iPad Pro 3rd gen 2021 (activation lock)

So I forgot my password and it got put into activation lock I tried to reset it via computer via a YouTube tutorial but when I put it into restore mode and plug it into the computer it doesn't show up in finder. Even when I open up apple manager or whatever that extra app is, it still does not show up. I have the iPad attached to my email and I have it connected to find my iPhone on it (P.S. it is a wifi only iPad, don't know if that makes a difference in the process). What can I do at this point? Does erasing it off find my iPhone do anything?
