Hey all. I found this fix, but for whatever reason my tablet would skip over the recovery mode and just start up again. I did find a method where you plug it in your PC and try the same. It worked for me. Just thought I'd share it here for those in the same pickle I was. Great video though! Straight to the point.

IMPORTANT : Now the Hard Reset process has changed. To reset your Tablet, you need to connect your Tablet to the computer with a cable !
1. Plug the tablet to the computer
2. Then, when the charging sign appears on the screen, press the Power Button & the Volume Up Button, at the same time
3. Follow the instruction of this video.
Your tablet will start the reset, the Samsung Logo will appear for maybe 10 minutes, so don't worry about it, then the installation screen will open. You can use your tablet by entering the e-mail address previously entered on the tablet.

[@rickstechrepairs]

This is same steps in method 3, on the channel

I tried this method on two of my tabs. Successful for one, but unable to reach the factory reset screen *itself on the second one. But what worked for me later was entering incorrect passwords many times in a row. I reckon I did around 10 times in a row, and it showed me a warning that if it's done a couple of times more, all the data will be erased and the system will automatically go into factory reset mode. Voila! It worked for me. It took around 10-15 minutes in total for me. Thanks.
