Our iPad is asking for a 4 digit code that it never asked for before. We updated several apps at one time. The iPad said it couldn't update them with 47% battery power, so we plugged it in and ran the updates again. Now it asks for a 4 digit pin which it never asked for before. We didn't "accidentally" set a pin, and no one else has had access to the iPad. We have tried several 4 digit codes that we "might" have set, none that work. What do we do now?

There is no way to disable push notifications. They are handled by Apple's servers and will be sent to your device even if you uninstall the program.
Disabling all the app's respective settings under the Notification Center will only hide them. Refer to Apple's developer Push documentation for more details.
Specifically, look at the Apple Push Notification (APN) Service, which "transports and routes a notification from a given provider to a given device." Apple says the following about the APN:
Sometimes APNs might attempt to deliver notifications for an application on a device, but the device may repeatedly refuse delivery because there is no target application. This often happens when the user has uninstalled the application. In these cases, APNs informs the provider through a feedback service that the provider connects with. The feedback service maintains a list of devices per application for which there were recent, repeated failed attempts to deliver notifications. The provider should obtain this list of devices and stop sending notifications to them.
In short, Push notifications are handled outside of the device. To stop them, once a program has been installed, means the developer of the program must remove your device from the list (or the notification must fail enough for the APN to stop sending them entirely). As a user, there is not way to "stop" them, just hide them from within iOS.
First make sure that ALL the apps are downloaded/purchased from your account. If not, only your apps will update.
If you want to change account go to settings->iTunes & App Store->Apple ID->Sign out->and enter your other account.

Check that your iPad is not in lost mode by going here. If so, disable it by going to Find my iPhone on another iPad or iPhone or going to icloud.com on a computer and then go to Find my iPhone. Click on the device on Find my iPhone and click Lost Mode and then turn it off.
A more likely story is that someone could have enabled "Restrictions" on your iPad. There are some ways to find out this code, or to disable Restrictions all together.
Before you do any of this, just make sure that you have Restrictions enabled by going to Settings → General → Restrictions and then click on that and if you are prompted to enter a 4 digit code, just try once more at guessing the 4 digit code.
If it still does not work, plug in your iPad to a computer. Make a backup on iTunes with the current settings. Then follow this tutorial. This is for both Mac and PC.
Cheers and good luck!
