I've seen several videos demonstrating the same thing. None (including this one) addressed the possibility of the tablet requiring a passcode even to power off. I finally found from trial and error that I need to *hold* the "power off" button before it prompts me for the passcode, and then it gives the option of restarting in safe mode. I did that and from there pressed the 3 buttons (releasing the power button after the samsung logo appears). It worked. Strange that no tutorials I've found bother to mention this little quirk.
Thanks for the feedback I have replied to questions about this lots of times but have never addressed it in my videos. I will try to include it in the next one.
For those who come across the "need passcode to power off"- press the reset button. As it is resetting, THEN press the 3 buttons and it will bring you to the cryptic looking page! Works! Thank you
I need further help. I forgot my security pattern, followed your video and pushed the power button, volume down, and home screen simultaneously. I waited for over 30 seconds and it never took me to the screen where I would release the power button. What to do now? Thank you.
Ok this is all great but I was given a this tablet and have done several resets wipe clean, and lets me chose my wi if and when trying to sign in put in user and password but won’t work . Their must be a way to bypass this or set it like it was brand new. Please help if you can and thanks
If it's locked to a Google account then you're stuck im afraid. Occasionally people come up with a way to bypass it but then it's patched pretty quickly
Problem - bought a wiped tablet for my mom. I even factory reset it again upon receipt. BUT, when going thru set up it’s asking for a an email & password originally used to set up the device rendering it useless. Is there anyway to bypass this?
@@WeRepair thank you for the reply. So far I haven't been able to find any answers. May need to change my words, because everything leads back to the password lock, which isn't the problem.
@@Skoalcwby77 Its a tricky one, google seem to patch the work arounds as quickly as they are released, this is why I have not posted a video on the topic. The purpose of the google account is to stop people using a potentially "stolen" tablet, they have gone down the Apple iCloud route so unless you can prove ownership there isnt a lot you can do.
In order to factory reset my tab e , I have to turn the tablet off, which requires my pass code. If I knew my pass code, I wouldn't have to reset. This video is no help. Can anyone offer a suggestion?
Depending on how your tablet is setup you may have a guest option, if you go into that it will allow a shutdown. If you don't then hold power and volume down to hard reboot, then you can follow this guide.
I really need extra help as my tablet is also not allowing me to shut down without the pin as well. I only have option to restart. Haven't used my tablet in 7 months and completely forgot my pin
You have two options hard power it off and when you turn it back on hope that you hit the buttons in time or take the back off and disconnect the battery to power it off.
If your device is locked and (can't power off because need password to power off) then hit the power button, when on your lock screen look at the top right corner. You will see a profile icon, hit that and change to guest mode. Once in guest mode, power off and then follow the steps for factory reset. Or you can just use guest mode, but beware that you can't change anything because it's guest mode. So factory reset is best way to go! Hope this helps you guys. Oh, and if not try waiting for battery to be dead and then try factory reset steps
Only think you can do is hardreset and it will power off. But you will have to be quick on the buttons to then factory reset it, almost need 2 pairs of hands.

I bought for a small cost a galaxy Tablet E SM-T560NU) Android 7.1.1 from a friend of a friend so my child can play with it. Problem is the tablet has a pattern lock to open and shut down. I was not aware of it because when he sold it to me it was completely dead and he said once i recharged it was good to go. Now I am faced with 2 problems, first problem it had pattern lock to open and shut down. So I did a hard reset factory hoping it would erase all but 2nd problem google account is still registered on tablet and now this blocked me from using tablet. How do i remove the google a/c of previous owner and bypasss to clear this tablet so my child can use it. thank you for reply in advance. P.S. I am not good at techi stuff so please explain in simple terms lol
You can bypass the Google account. You need to hook it up to a computer to do this. There are many simple videos on here that take you step by step as it would be way to much for me to type in a comment. Search "how to bypass Google account on Samsung tab E". Hope this helps!

Absolutely fantastic. Got given a locked Tablet and got it going thanks to your video. 100%
Does it delete the pictures?
@@Carolina_469 I'm sorry. I don't know the answer.
@@Carolina_469 Yes
Wasn't expecting it to work, but it did anyways, you're a lifesaver, I found my tablet after 4 years and forgot the password🙏

It’s volume up not down
Thanks so much, I hadn't touched the tablet in a long time and I forgot the password. This was very very helpful 🙂
Most welcome :)
Sameee
Me, too. It's my daughter's tablet and we don't use it for years, and I forgot all the passwords 😅.
I had the exact same situation
Omg thank you so much I havent touched the thing since i was 12 and forgot the password
Glad to help.
It's giving me a "unauthorized attempt to reset tablet" error
I would say your tablet is linked to an MDM solution and that is blocking the reset

@Paige Aitken Have a look at the 1st part of this ruclips.net/video/20gO8SsxvqA/видео.html

The thing is: I cant shut it off without THE forgotten password
Same!! Did you find anything out?

When I try to turn it off it ask for the passcode.
Nothing worked i the safety thing and the guest things and it still does not work I’m about to just throw it away and forget about it
Well message if your stuck, always happy to help :)

Most Welcome :)
Thank you that really helped me out with my tablet
Most welcome 😁
OMG IT WORKED THANK YOU
Most welcome.
How do you turn it off? Says I have to enter the password to turn it off
You would have to hard reboot the device with power, volume down and home (i think) and then follow the process in the video.

No guest mode available...
On the screen where it says to turn off or restart there should be a little icon that says change to guest mode
