Welcome, I'm Filomena Z, Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Plus, and today I will show you how you
0:15
can hard reset the device through recovery mode and additionally remove a screen lock
0:19
if you have one that you don't know. Now I'll add this removes only screen lock, so if you are logged into your Google account
0:26
or Samsung account, this will not remove that account. It will actually make the device locked and force you to, throughout the setup process
0:35
verify that the account that was previously logged into it is. So anyway, for this I believe we need a cable that is plugged into our computer
0:46
I have mine right here, and there we go
1:01
So I did connect it right now, and I have it ready
1:05
And what we will need to do, number one, I'm actually going to just lock the device before
1:10
I begin. As you can see, I do have a pattern set, and I will start this process from the lock screen
1:15
as though I don't know it, which will provide a first problem for everybody that doesn't
1:20
know their pattern, which is you can't turn off the device without actually providing
1:24
the pattern, PIN, password, whatever you have set. So to do so, what we will need to do is hold power key and volume down at the same time
1:32
which will forcibly reboot the device. So I'm going to plug my phone, not phone, but tablet right now
1:41
Here we go. You can see there is the lock screen, and I will start holding power key and volume down
1:49
Once the device boots off or shuts down, you want to switch to volume up from volume down
1:56
There we go, it turned off. Now there we go, it's now turning on
2:14
As you can see, when I was letting go of the keys, it automatically accepted what was selected
2:21
so I'm holding again the keys, hopefully. Yep, there we go. Okay, so let's go right now
2:33
Samsung Galaxy logo shows up. There we go, let go, and it will boot us into the recovery mode
2:40
As you've seen, if you already see this screen and you let go of the power key, it automatically
2:45
accepts the first option. It accepts power key let go as an input, which is a press down instead of letting go, and
2:53
reboots the device, so you will need to start holding it again
2:57
So anyway, from here, using volume keys up and down, you will want to navigate to the
3:01
options because you can see that touch screen doesn't work in here
3:05
So what you want to do is, using volume down, scroll down to wipe data factory reset, confirm
3:11
it with power key, select factory data reset the same way. It will give you formatting data and then data wipe complete, at which point reboot
3:22
system now will be selected by default, so press power key once again, and this will
3:27
initiate reboot of the device and continue the process in the background
3:31
And additionally, you can also unplug the cable because it's not needed anymore, and
3:37
wait for the factory reset to finish up. So, as you can see, the process is now finished, and from here you can set up your device however
3:56
you like. And, if you found this video helpful, don't forget to hit like, subscribe, and thanks
