keeps telling me that my password is wrong?

"Hi,

If you have the tablet configured with your google account, you should see an option to reset your password using your google account information. The method is described at the top of this website: http://visihow.com/How_to_unlock_Samsung...

If you do not have this option, you can do a factory reset on your tablet. However, be warned: this will erase all of the data on your tablet, so only use it as a last resort.

1. With the device off, press and hold Volume Up, Power and Home button.

2. Release the Power button when you see the Samsung logo, but continue to hold Volume Up until the recovery screen appears.

3. Use the Volume buttons to navigate the menu and select wipe data / factory reset. Press Power to choose the selection.

4. Press Volume Up continue.

Good luck!"

I've just had this with my Galaxy Tab A! It was definitely the correct password as I'd used it 5 mins before. Thanks to these posts, I held the power button and volume down until it restarted (5 seconds) some devices use power and volume up by the looks of things, so try some combinations if it doesn't work. My password works fine again now and didnt have to reset and lose everything :)

"#1 Carefully put Tablet on a hard surface, like a cutting board. It would work better with a towel underneath.

#2 Go out to the shed/garage/or wherever you keep your tools.

#3 Bring the item called a “hammer"".

#4 With caution, use your hands, hold the hammer above the Tablet…

#5 Swing the hammer with a hard “smash like feeling""!

#6 Put hammer down on the table, step back and take a deep breath!

You're welcome :)"

"Dustin is right, this can work. But for me simulated battery disconnect worked (power button + low volume button for bout 10 sec) on my samsung galaxy A5 2017. Maybe reset works randomly, or after some tries. But one thing for sure.

I am not going to hard reset my phone second time…..

And the problem is real. I have rooted device and i unlocked multiple account option. And i dont think that a 15 y old can forget 3 passwords at the same time."

"Thank You SO very much for the information! I had to use the factor restart you had explained. Unfortunately I guess I didn't have it configured to my Google account? I know I had used it many times to check my Gmail though? I guess I don't know HOW to configure them together? I know the only thing it kept telling me before I did the reset was it was the wrong password & I would have to wait 30 seconds before I could attempt it again, I never had anything from Google come up.

Thank you SO much again for your help, it was appreciated very much! Cheryl"

"Got to https://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/ap...

Login using your Samsung account details. (This is generally setup when the tablet is set up). From here you will be able to remotely unlock the tablet with out having to do a Factory Reset and losing your data."
