How Do You Hard Reset a Samsung Tablet?
Samsung tablets run Android, and Android has a built-in, easy way to hard reset your device back to factory defaults. As a warning, make sure to backup anything important on your tablet before resetting it. Once reset, your data will be gone. Only use a hard reset as a last resort, however, because not only will your data be removed but personal settings will also be lost. Though, hard resetting can be a good way to fix problems with a Samsung tablet you otherwise can’t solve.
Is There a Reset Button on a Samsung Tablet?
There isn’t a reset “button” on a Samsung tablet, but you can press a series of buttons to put your device in Recovery Mode from where you can reset your device to factory defaults, wiping all the data on the device in the process. To reset your Samsung tablet via Recovery Mode all you’ll need is your tablet and a few minutes. This usually takes around 10 to 15 seconds, but once your screen turns on, you can let go of the buttons regardless of how long you’ve been holding them. You’ll know you have entered Recovery Mode if your tablet doesn’t boot up as normal.
