Method 2: Samsung Tablet Factory Reset for forgotten password

[@debraparker2081]

This is the best. I watched several how to's and this is the first one that helped me actually reset my tablet by using the home button. None of the other videos had that option. Thanks so much!

[@rickstechrepairs]

Cheers. Great to read this has helped

[@sandrahancock5383]

I give up its going through window tried and tried, just keeps going in a loop

[@sandrahancock5383]

Might as well buy a new one, give up with this one😔

[@BIGBOUTYAH]

Thanks a lot man, you saved me a lot of money. My wife gave her tablet to our daughter and she forgot the password. I was about to send it to Samsung to flash new firmware onto it and now I don’t have to. Doing updates now 😁😁

[@rickstechrepairs]

Excellent, great to hear this has helped

[@lucasbeer]

I finally (after days of trying) got this method to work! - Press and hold power + volume down - RELEASE BOTH KEYS as soon as the screen blacks out - When you hear the soft buzz, immediately press and hold power + volume up + home. - Keep holding until you see the blue screen. Some more tips: - The timing is very sensitive, so you have to try and try again - Some people reported that having the device plugged in / paired made a difference. I did it without. Doesn't seem to matter for me. - If you see the animated SAMSUNG logo, you know you failed. So you don't have to wait for it to fully boot before trying again. Just press and hold power + volume down again. This has been very tedious and frustrating. But hang in there and you will get it!

[@rickstechrepairs]

thanks for your comment and some great tips

[@jattsosikh1309]

this was very helpful and true

[@johannalora4851]

I can't thank you enough. My daughter forgot her password and after watching many videos and trying this was the one that worked. Thank you so much 🥰

[@sumanmoniall7991]

It didn't work for 2

[@HomeLabTrailer]

You are a life saver. I was given an old Samsung Tab A6 with a passcode on it. I followed your directions, as well as the comment from @Lucasbeer, and was able to factory reset it successfully! In case Lucas's comment isn't available, here's what to do. -Press and hold power + volume down until the screen resets. (The device might take a screenshot, that's fine. Keep holding the buttons down) -As soon as the screen blacks out, RELEASE both keys! -Immediately press and hold power + volume up + home. -When you see the blue screen with the Android symbol, release the keys. Thanks again! -HLT

Hi Rick, my home button is sort of just pushed into the tablet and doesn't work anymore. I have a Samsung sm-t230, a pretty old one so the first method doesn't really work for me. Would appreciate any help!

If your model needs the home button to enter recover mode, your might have to get that repaired to be able to wipe it

You need to hold the 'Home' + Power + Volume Up at the same time and release when the Samsung logo comes up to get to Android. Samsung seem to have changed the method and videos that are 2/3 years old no longer work (in my case anyway). As soon as I added the 'Home' button as well - bingo!
