Hey all. I found this fix, but for whatever reason my tablet would skip over the recovery mode and just start up again. I did find a method where you plug it in your PC and try the same. It worked for me. Just thought I'd share it here for those in the same pickle I was. Great video though! Straight to the point.
OML- TYSM FOR THIS!! I forgot my password and i was literally crying my eyes out! Ive tried so many other videos but only this one helped thank you again!
Excellent video worked as planned. Thank you so much.🎉🎉 I had put my tablet away for almost a year and a half because I forgot the password you’re a lifesaver. Thanks again.
Bonjour ! un tres grand merci pour vos explications qui m'ont enfin permis de reinitialiser ma tablette. impossible avec d'autres videos ! vous etes un champion !!! Merci !!!!
Rick, thank you so much. I received a Samsung tablet as a promotional when I upgraded my phone four years ago. I decided to gift it to my granddaughter after non-use for three of those years, and could not remember my pin code. So it’s been sitting collecting dust! I did not know how to get into it until I came across your video this morning. It worked like a charm! My little four-year-old treasure will be so delighted!
Thank you for actually showing the method and not some crazy key patten bs that takes over a half a day of rewinding to not even be able to do such thing.... thanks my friend
thank you for this! All of the support forums I'd read mentioned powering off the device but never gave a way to do that without knowing the passcode/pin. I appreciate it!
It look like it really worked for some ppl but I think I’m stuck when I used the power an down then up I never got the screen with the words on it it just went back to my hom board again an ask for the pin
Thank you for this. I set up a new tablet a few weeks ago but didn't put anything on it. Come today I forget the pattern unlock. I'm so glad you did this video so I could fix it. Might have to just stick to my usual passwords I can remember 😅
Thankssssss! I've been wanting to sell my galaxy tab A, but was unable to log in to my Samsung account. This was an extremely useful and quick trick. Thanks once again!
thanks for the video, it is really straightforward to do those steps. However, what should i do if i do not know the gmail account credentials that where used to configure the device initially. it seems there is no other option than throwing away the entire hardware? if you have any ideas, please advise.
@@rickstechrepairs btw i do not understand how they can design hardware like that, everywhere you can hear about security, but i think there will be more people with my issue, than people whose tablet was stolen. if my tablet was stolen i would immediately change my google password and problem would be solved.
1)Hold Volume Down and Power for 10 sec 2) Then switch to Volume Up and Power for about 10 seconds 3) Release Power keep holding Volume Up 4) Should be inside the menu, use Power as the Ok button and Volume Buttons as the arrow buttons.
Thank you had a tablet sitting here for three months and I finally turned it on the kid reset the password. I thought I was gonna have to take this in. Thank you for saving me cash.
IMPORTANT : Now the Hard Reset process has changed. To reset your Tablet, you need to connect your Tablet to the computer with a cable ! 1. Plug the tablet to the computer 2. Then, when the charging sign appears on the screen, press the Power Button & the Volume Up Button, at the same time 3. Follow the instruction of this video. Your tablet will start the reset, the Samsung Logo will appear for maybe 10 minutes, so don't worry about it, then the installation screen will open. You can use your tablet by entering the e-mail address previously entered on the tablet.
On my Lord thank you so much for helping me I appreciate it. I got the tablet for Christmas from my loving mother I love the best in my life God bless you
I tried this method on two of my tabs. Successful for one, but unable to reach the factory reset screen *itself on the second one. But what worked for me later was entering incorrect passwords many times in a row. I reckon I did around 10 times in a row, and it showed me a warning that if it's done a couple of times more, all the data will be erased and the system will automatically go into factory reset mode. Voila! It worked for me. It took around 10-15 minutes in total for me. Thanks.
This video is very helpful I have forgot my password so I just reset it but when 8 googled it it was no good so I searched it up on UA-cam and I clicked on this
Thanks for the video! My Samsung Galaxy S6 lite suddenly required a 4 number and character password to unlock despite not having a password lock for past few years. I tried this method while connecting to the laptop using USB cable and it worked! It didn’t work without the laptop.
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO😭😭😭THANK YOU SO SO SO SOOOO MUCH IT WORKED I needed this for my old tablet :} since i hardly ever use it and im probably just gonna use it for alt accounts
Thank you so so so much for posting this video for Us people that are Ignorant when it comes to everything that has to do with fixing our mess ups on cellphone's, tablets, computer's, etc...
Thanks boss you are the best . Got a new table for my Son and set it up put it away now 2 months later I turn it on and I forgot the patter I put lol . So Follow your video and it did work
Thank you I have liked your video and subscribed to your UA-cam channel as i am very thankful and eternally grateful for your help and guidance because my android tablet was locked out and i forgot my code, but it wouldn't even let me power if off without entering the correct code 🙄. I followed your instructions and got it to finally reset factory settings and reboot it eventually Thank you , appreciate all your help and guidance.
This is one of the best videos on here. Very clear spoken voice.
Very clear instructions. No hooking up to computer or unnecessary bs.
Too kind
Thank you so much for your help and support.

It worked for me. Just thought I'd share it here for those in the same pickle I was. Great video though! Straight to the point.
I take it you needed method 3 (on the channel), for newer devices.
What model did you have?
@@rickstechrepairs It's the tab 7 I think. It's all good now, just asked me to log into my Google account after
Doesn't work. It shows recovery for a second then disappears.
I have Tab 6A and mine also worked only when connected to a computer.
Thank you so much I forget my tablet password and if I told my mom she will beat me so I borrow her phone and start watching this . I love you

New work site and no one left a password. This worked perfect. Now we can start fresh! Thanks
You're welcome!

Great to hear it's all sorted
I did exactly the same! Lol. Why oh why did I create something new!!!!!!! 🤔🤔🤔
It will not take me to the factory reset screen no matter what I do. It just keeps going back to the Samsung Galaxy screen and turns back on.
I have this same issue
Same issues
Maybe a tad late, but you need to switch to the power+volume up combo as soon as the screen goes black. Count to 10 then swap.
That’s what it does to me to
Same
Thank you so much! You're my hero of the day :)
Glad I could help!
Thankssssss!
I've been wanting to sell my galaxy tab A, but was unable to log in to my Samsung account. This was an extremely useful and quick trick. Thanks once again!

However, what should i do if i do not know the gmail account credentials that where used to configure the device initially. it seems there is no other option than throwing away the entire hardware? if you have any ideas, please advise.
if you dont have the gmail details or a way to recover them you are pretty stuck and its almost worth selling the device for spare parts
@@rickstechrepairs thank you
