Galaxy Tab A7 (2020): Forgot Password, PIN, Pattern Code? No Problem!

I show you how factory reset (hard reset) the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 (2020) if you forgot your password, PIN or Pattern Swipe Code. Remember with a factory reset you will lose all your data and it will reset your Tab A7 back to factory defaults.
Note if u tried it a few times and still no go then plug charging cable into phone and computer then try again. Hope this helps.

BEST tutorial help, because
1. Stated model#. Worked on my SM-T727v too.
2. SAID exactly what to do AND how to do it, instead of just playing music [lol].
3. Offered advice AND encouragement - try repeatedly, try plugging into computer. 5 Stars!

I tried this more than 15 times and it didn’t work, I read the comments and saw someone connected it to a laptop and then tried this method! I connected to my laptop, did your method and boom it worked! Connect it to a laptop through a smaller charging cable and it’ll work! I’m happy now!!

After an hour of listening to clueless instructions, your INFORMATION worked correctly the first time. It's still wiping with the logo, but it looks like it's working. It took four minutes to reset. THANK YOU.

PLUG IT IN! I tried for hours based off this video at work with no luck. Plugged it in with a PC ding ding, WORKED! Class.

Called Samsung customer service for help. What a LONG waste of time!! Bad connection. Couldn’t hear the rep and couldn’t understand her. Spoke fast with a thick accent. On the phone for a very long time with no success. Thank goodness we found you. Your instructions were clear, to the point and great visuals. Boom! Fixed within minutes. If I didn’t find this video, I don’t know what we would have done. Your’re a Godsend. Thank you so much! God bless.

As it should be, right to the point ! Solution worked, thanks! Reset on first try. Host did not blather on about how his Uncle's Daughter's dog, learned a new trick, and somehow reset the pin to his tablet, so he learned how to do a factory reset. ;-)

Tried probably 25 times, no luck, then connected to PC and worked first time. Many thanks to those who added the instruction to connect to a PC.

This just wouldn't work for me until I read all these comments and plugged tablet into my laptop and boom - worked 1st time! Thank you 😍

This worked for me when the tablet was plugged into my PC. I was asked to verify my identity after rebooting it and I thought that, like others posted here, I would be asked for the same password for the screenlock. I wasn't though; rather I had to sign in with my google details. Thanks for the video.

Tried multiple times and no luck, connected cable to laptop and did same steps shared and it worked.. thank you.

Plug usb c from computer to the tablet and follow his steps. Worked!

[marcelnowakowski]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I had my tablet lying around for like 6 years and - of course - forgot the password.
Thanks to you I got it working again.
Actually... it was you who got it working for me.
On the 2nd attempt!
God bless!

[juliedowning]

Thank you so much! You explained it so well and made it so easy. After several failed attempts I saw the computer comments and plugged it in and it worked!

[sibbysworld]

Thank you so much I was just about to cry, I knew my dad would get mad at me

[teresalynch]

Thank you. I tried this so many times until I looked through the comments and linked it via a cable to my laptop. Then a couple of attempts to let go at the right point and all is good. My son is happy again 💙

[IamSchpartacus]

It worked just like the demonstration. 3rd time lucky. Just need to get timing right.

All the steps were correct.


Thank you for Melbourne, Australia 2024

Thank you so much!!! I spent 2 hours on the phone with Samsung support and they couldn't figure this out. They told me to go to a repair shop! Instead I googled it and your video came up and it worked on the first try! You saved me so much time!!!

[lindamcd]

I was about to throw the dang thing away. All the other videos said to turn the tablet real simple! Have to have the passcode to TURN IT OFF! You saved my sanity thanks. Worked the first try!

[bartgoldsack]

You need to add that the tablet needs to be connected to a computer via usb for this to work, as it doesn't work for a lot of people unless you do this first. Thank you for posting this.

I cannot thank you enough. I spent an hour on the phone with Samsung and they couldn't help. They said they'll look into it and call me back in 30 minutes. Mine was also stuck on some voice accessibility thing. It kept saying swipe tap, tap twice..ect. I held the power and volume up for 10 seconds and everything came back safe and sound. In fairness she did tell me to do the power and volume up but didn't say to hold it for 10 seconds. That's all it took. It didn't even need factory reset thank you from the bottom of my heart.
