I suddenly cannot open my tablet with my Pin number. This did happen suddenly, I was using it happily, put it down and less than 5 minutes later I tried to use it again and couldn't gain entry after entering the pin code I just get a message "try again in 30 seconds" the same message appears when I try to restart the tablet.  When I have used the wrong pin number in the past it has simply said wrong pin.  Any thoughts please

Hey there!

Do you have a Samsung Account signed in on your tablet? If so, log into your Samsung Account on your computer or phone, and go to Find my Mobile. Select your tablet and choose the Unlock Device option. This should remove your PIN from your tablet and let you back in, but you might need to reconfigure banking apps etc.

If this doesn't help, you might need to reset your tablet, which you can do by holding Power+Vol Down, and then Power+Vol Up to get into the recovery menu.

Hope this helps!
Tom 🙂
