HI there.

 

I updated my Samsung Tab S, changed unlock to fingerprint and after the update changed to Marshmallow  it now refuses to recognise not only my fingerprint but also my backup password. I cant get into my tablet now. Is there anyway to reset it completely?

Hi Shezza!

 

Does your Tab S prompt you to sign in using your Samsung or Google account?

 

You can Reset your Tab by turning it off and pressing and holding the Volume Up + Home + Power button at the same time and releasing them when the Samsung logo appears.

Scroll down to 'wipe data/factory reset' using the Volume down button, then press the Power button to confirm.

 

We'd like to remind you that this will delete all your data and any personalised Settings.
