Factory Reset Samsung Tablet From Lock Screen

Purchased a used model. Everything but the power cord was inside the box. Luckily, I had a spare so no issue turning it on, but when I did the User/Password screen appeared instead of the Activation screen. The device was not obviously not reset to factory settings before repackaging. Went to Youtube (University) and found reset button is supposedly mounted on the board inside. Found it after removing the screws and cover. Pressed continuously for 30 seconds until one beep sounded. Released the button and after several minutes the Activation screen popped up on my SmartTV connected via hdmi cable to the NVR. Thereafter used the browser GUI interface to complete the setup. The device takes longer to start up compared to an older EV1 model, which has been running with no issues for the past five years. Also purchased a used HIK 8mp POE bullet camera model ds-2cd2083g2-iu which has stunning clarity and color. Takes time to sync with the NVR on startup but well worth the wait. Reported the factory reset issue to B&H. Saved half the cost, compared to buying new. Only minor blemishes on the outside. All good on the inside. HIK's iPhone app (iVMS4500) is the best there is for remote viewing. Others simply don't compare in ease of use.

failed first install did a factory reset everything is fine

...once I figured it out. It needed to be reset to factory settings, but once done, all works as---or better than---expected. THANKS

Good modem...a little difficult to setup (must reboot several times, and set to factory reset a couple of times) to obtain the IP address. Once that is obtained, then just works.

Fast delivery and easy set up... if there is an issue, just factory reset and it works no problem. Great product

thanks B&H for recommending this for my new Samsung tablet.

I like what I see, I have not had a chance yet to use this case. The TSA Lock will not reset..... the little screw wont turn...so that is useless.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For the longest time I had 2016 Galaxy Tab A 10.1" and I still own and use an I thought it was great. Then my partner got me the wifi Galaxy Tab S7+ and I wil never purchase another kind of tablet again. This tablet is a beast it can handle any multifunctional use I require without out any lag or or hiccups. The 12.4" Supe Amoled display is beautiful and large enough to use split screen without having to zoom in. Using the wireless DeX functionality is very convenient for work or streaming when I want to us another screen and the second screen feature works seamlessly with my Windows laptop on the road. The Spen is something I thought of as a luxury and at the moment I currently do not have one because I lost it. I have noticed that I do not use my tablet as much since it has gone missing. It just makes the tablet easier to use and more fun. The only thing I wish Samsung would change is tat you could locate ANY Spen with SmartThings Find not just the Spen Pro. Please Samsung fix this. Oter than that the only reason I would replace this tablet is tablet would be to get the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra or maybe I'll just wait for rumored Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra. Again this is a great tb for any use needed and I would recommend it to anyone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love all Samsung products! This tablet has a big screen for the price and the features are a plus.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you love Samsung products then this is NO exception! I LOVE my S7 plus tablet! I got the 512 gb to ensure I had plenty of room to store all my docs, pics & videos & this tablet did NOT disappoint! And the screen at over 12 inches is so vivid & clear!! I can do my work, watch my streaming shows all on a crisp & clear screen. Im so glad I decided to trade in my S6 tab for this one!
