Is it possible to reset a Samsung tablet/smartphone without a password?

The short answer is yes. There are several ways to reset the Samsung Tab without a password. All options will delete all data on the device, but maybe that’s exactly what you want. It doesn’t really matter which option you choose.

They all work quickly and easily and are a secure way to reset your Samsung tablet or smartphone without needing your password.

How can you reset the Samsung Tab without a password?

There are various ways to reset a Samsung Tab without a password. They all work without any problems, even if you no longer remember the password. Let’s take a look at exactly what options are available.

Option 1: Samsung reset key combination

The first option is the Android recovery mode. This deletes all settings and resets the tablet to the factory settings.

To do this, you must switch off the tablet and wait until the battery is empty. If you then connect the tablet to a PC via USB cable and hold down the on/off switch and the volume up button at the same time, Android Recovery Mode will start. You can now use the volume buttons to select “Wipe data/factory reset”, which will reset the Samsung Tab.

The steps at a glance:

1. Make sure that the device is switched off.
2. If the device responds and can be switched on, the preferred method for resetting should be used.
3. Press and hold the volume up and power button on the side of the device.
4. Continue to hold the volume up and power buttons until the Android recovery screen appears (approx. 10-15 seconds), then release both buttons.
5. A blue screen with the message “System update installing” may appear, followed by a screen with “No command”; simply wait for the recovery screen to appear.
6. On the Android recovery screen, select the “Wipe data / Factory reset” option
7. Use the volume buttons to navigate through the available options and confirm with the power button.
8. Select “Yes”.
9. Wait a few seconds for the factory reset to complete.
10. Select “Reboot system now”.
11. Wait a few minutes until the restart is complete.
12. If necessary, set up your device again.

Option 2: Reset Samsung Tab with Google Account

A Samsung tablet can also be reset quickly and easily using your own Google account. Google Find My Device is used for this:

1. Go to the Google Find My Device website and sign in with your Google account and password.
2. From all devices linked to Google, select the Samsung Galaxy Tab you want to reset.
3. Select “Reset device to factory settings” from the advanced options
4. Confirm with the “Reset” button and click on “Erase” to start the reset.
5. After the reset, all user data and accounts are removed from the tablet so that a new start is possible.

Option 3: Samsung account

The third option for resetting the Samsung Tab without a password is via the Samsung account. With the help of SmartThings Find, you can not only locate your Samsung device, but also delete all data from the Samsung Tab. To do this, however, you must first log into your Samsung account on the tablet and the tablet must be connected to a working network.

You can then log in to the Samsung SmartThings Find website and select the relevant tablet. You then have the option to reset the tablet with “Erase data” at the top right.

1. Visit the official Samsung SmartThings Find website on another device.
2. Log in with your Samsung account. Make sure it is the same account that is used on the Galaxy Tab.
3. All devices linked to your Samsung account will be displayed on the left side of the screen.
4. Select the Samsung Galaxy Tablet you want to factory reset.
5. Select “Erase data” once the device options appear.
   Tip: A confirmation code may be sent to your Samsung smartphone. If required, enter the code to verify your identity.
6. Click on “Erase” in the pop-up window to confirm the factory reset. After the reset, your tablet will be removed from your Samsung account.

After resetting the Samsung Tab/Phone
