an issue with my Samsung galaxy Tab a

[butteroppi]

Hi!

So I can't get into my Samsung device.

I've put in the correct pin multiple times but it always says "try again in 30 seconds". 

Can anyone please help me? It has been like this since yesterday evening and I'm getting worried. I really wanna use it. 

So if you know how to help or know how to get into my device again then please tell me!

Thank you!

I'd suggest trying to reboot the device or even soft resetting it, if that doesn't work maybe try connecting it to your computer or even contacting Samsung.

Similar post on here suggests holding power off and volume down together for 10 seconds to force shutdown and reboot. Worked for me, ok so far.
