Forgot password/pattern unlock of Android Tablet

What do we have here?
  •  Steps to follow, if forgotten the device unlocking password.
  •  Step to follow, if you don’t remember your Google password recovery account credentials.
  •  Steps to follow to Hard/Factory reset your device : THE LAST THING

If you have forgotten your password/pattern unlock of your Android Tablet , or the face unlock feature refuses to work, follow these steps:

1. Click on ‘forgot password?’ and it’ll take you to a new screen where you have to put your Google account user name and password. The same user name and password against which the device is registered at Google Play store.

NOTE: Make sure you are either connected to mobile network or Wi-Fi .

Other problems which might arise during password recovery:-

  •  You forgot the Google account password?

If somehow you don’t remember your Google account credentials, go to www.google.com/accounts/recovery to reset the password of your Google account. Reset the password here and use the new one on your device.

  • Tablet unable to connect to internet when it is locked.

If in case you don’t have mobile data or Wi-Fi switched on, unfortunately you cannot access your device until you perform a full factory reset of the device. Take out the SD card so that all on the data on the memory card should be intact. This factory reset (also called ‘hard reset‘ since you are forcefully wiping all the data off your device) formats  internal memory and also the extended memory, if you keep it inside the device itself.

To perform a hard reset, follow these steps:

This works with devices having physical home button:-

 1. Press the power button and the home button together for a while, long enough until the screen appears with Android bot and a progress bar which shows that it’s formatting the internal memory.

With NO physical HOME button:-

2. In case your device does not have a physical home button, press the power button and both the volume keys together for few seconds.

3. Press gently the “reset pin-hole” present generally on a side of Tablet. Use a clip-pin or similarly fine thing to gently push inside to reset your device to factory settings.

NOTE: You’ll not only lose the apps on your internal memory and the data associated with it. All the device updates will also be lost and you’ll have the version of Android your tablet came with.

Do not worry about remembering your app list as every app you had currently on your device will be reflected on your account at the Google Play store, in case you remembered the password of your account.
