Here I have Lenovo IdeaPad Mix 30 and let me show you how to accomplish hard reset operation
0:10
on the following tablet by using troubleshoot mode. So you can accomplish that operation even with a password protection on your device
0:19
So even if you don't know your password on your tablet you can accomplish hard reset
0:24
operation on the following tablet and in that way you can bypass and remove password from
0:30
your device. So at the very beginning you have to start holding shift key on your keyboard, let me
0:34
show you, the left shift, keep holding shift and while holding shift let's use power options
0:41
so let's find power options right here and choose power. Then you have to choose restart, let me do it, remember to keep holding shift button
0:54
while the phone, while the tablet is restarting, keep holding shift and as you can see now
1:02
you can release shift key, the following options just pops up, here you should choose troubleshoot
1:07
by tapping appropriate options so let's choose troubleshoot and then you have to select reset
1:13
this PC so let's tap reset this PC and now you can decide either you would like to keep
1:19
your files, remove apps and settings but keep all of your personal files or just remove
1:24
everything so remove all of your personal files, apps and settings. In both ways you will be able to bypass a password protection but in my case let me
1:35
perform a hard reset operation so let me remove everything, let's use the second option right
1:40
here, remove everything, now the device is performing hard reset operation, let's wait
1:48
a couple of seconds, the Lenovo tablet is preparing operation, it's always a good idea
2:00
to connect your device to a battery charger so let me do it, let's connect your device
2:05
let's plug in, excellent, the device is connected to battery charger, excellent and now as you
2:27
can see you've got two options, let me show you, as you may also observe my device is
2:44
in my default language so it's not in English but you can choose the first option which
2:49
is just remove your files so in that case you will erase all your personal files, it's
2:56
much more quicker than the second option but it's less secure because the second option
3:03
so fully clean the drive, it's better if you would like to sell your device or give somebody
3:09
your tablet because it is harder to restore the removed files so in my case let me choose
3:16
the first option which is just remove my files and as you can see you have to tap the following
3:24
option and choose reset one more time right here, now the device is performing hard reset
3:32
operation, the device is erasing all personal stuff and customized settings, the tablet
3:46
is also erasing all files from the storage, the Lenovo is restarting and rebooting, the
3:56
whole operation should take a while even about 30 minutes or even an hour so let's just be
4:02
patient and wait until everything will be completed, do not interrupt while the process
4:08
is running and after the operation you will see the welcome panel so you will have to
4:15
go through the initializing setup process so setup language, region and other settings
4:20
but you will see that your device will erase your password protection so you will be able
4:31
to activate your device without inputting any password so now all you have to do is
4:36
just wait until the whole operation will be completed, thank you for watching, please
