PostStuck S7 Tablet.

I've got a Samsung S7 tablet with a password I can't remember and none of the ways I can find are working to unlock it.

I've tried doing factory reset but the factory reset page wont open and everything I do just sends me back to the stupid password screen.

Have you tried just relaxing and letting it come out of its own accord?

So... you've got a Samsung A7, you've forgotten the password and you want to reset the whole device, dude? If so, this may help:

Nothing I've tried seems to be working, even promising to never watch Picard Season 2 on it :cry: .

Scream 'UNLOCK, YOU BASTARD.' while pointing at it.

Variations on this are:

'UNLOCK, YOU BASTARD!!!'
'WORK, YOU BASTARD'
'I'M NEVER BUYING SAMSUNG AGAIN'
'UUUURGGHHHHH, BASTARD'
'RIGHT, THAT'S IT, I WARNED YOU, YOU'RE GOING IN THE BIN IN 5. 4. 3. strawberry floating WORK! 2...1. RIGHT, THAT'S IT. BIN.'

I work with a lady whose husband is a manager or something at Samsung so I'll ask if he can unlock the strawberry floating piece of crap.

I recently got an S8 Ultra with super-duper fancy hyper OLED 14 inch screen.

It's strawberry floating amazeballs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Erm, yes it's quite good :shifty: .

I've been trying this for 45 minutes with no luck because my tablet is a stubborn piece of gooseberry fool that refuses to go to the factory reset screen.

I blame Chalky :x .

Thanks for trying to help though :wub: .

I know this may be a big ask but have you tried calling Samsung or using their webchat?

Talking to actual, real people?
Are you having a laugh?

Also, I'm an idiot and didn't think of that :fp: .

Lastly, did I mention how good the screen is on the S8 Ultra?

This stuck problem looks like the stickiest situation since Sticky the stick insect got stuck on a sticky bun.
