Despite the reliability of tablets, their performance can sometimes become unstable. One of the most unpleasant situations can arise when, when you turn on the tablet, it turns out to be locked. In this article, we'll show you how to deal with this problem on Android devices.
There are two main reasons for tablet locking problems. The first is when a person simply forgets the password or pattern that is needed to log in to the system. The second reason is infection with a virus that blocks the device.
The first thing to do to unlock the tablet is to try to remember the password and make several attempts to enter it. If all attempts are unsuccessful, the device will prompt you to enter the login and password from your Google account. If you remember them, then everything is fine. Enter your details and use your tablet. If you have forgotten your Google account login and password, you can try to restore them using your computer.
Some tablets have a dedicated "Recovery" button that allows you to "roll back" to a backup. Thanks to this, you can return to the state when the device was not locked. It is naturally necessary that you have a suitable restore point. This method is an excellent option when a tablet is infected with a virus.
Another way is to restore access using special programs that are supplied by the manufacturer with the tablet computer. In addition, these programs can help you remember the name of your Google email account.
If none of the above methods helped, don't be upset. You can restore access to the tablet through a Hard Reset (hard reset). To do this, you need to simultaneously hold down the power button and the volume up button. After that, the menu will load, in which you need to select Settings, then Format Settings and Reset Android. It should be remembered that after this operation, all user data will be lost, except for those on the memory card. The tablet will revert to factory settings. However, after that it will be possible to start using it as if nothing had happened.
