There should be some 2-button combination that will bring you to a recovery screen that will allow you to do a hard reset (factory reset). Usually, it is the Power button + another button.
It could be
Power + Vol Up
Power + Vol Down
Power + Home
One of these combinations will bring you to a screen with an Android with a red X. Depending on the Power + combination, press the second button again. For example, if Power + Home (in the case of my cheap China-made tablet), I see the Android with red X, I will need to press the Home button again to get to the screen from which I can select to do a factory reset.
Just be patient - sometimes the buttons are a bit sticky and the combinations may not seem to work, but perseverance will pay off.

I've read through several posts regarding resetting my HTC Touch pro but nothing is working. My touch screen stopped working - it doesn't do anything when I tap the icons on the screen. The keys still work but the screen is not working.
With the power off I tried holding down the volume button while pressing the round "enter" button and then pressed the power on button. The only message I get is "you are about to power off the device, you will lose any information not saved". I've also tried holding down the down volume button while holding the enter button and then using my stylus hit the "reset" button on the bottom. This didn't do anything either - I hate this phone!
The phone is on the Alltel network.
How I hard reset my 6850 HTC Touch Pro
Using the recommended method I was not able to hard reset my phone after installing a custom ROM I maid using PPC Kitchen. But what I tried that did work was, Phone off (not just asleep), holding the volume down button, while holding down the round "enter" button, while holding down the power button, then also holding down the reset button holding down all these buttons worked. I did not have to hold them for long till the text instructions came up and I followed them. Let me know if this works for any of you.

Start/Settings/System and find Clear Storage and that will hard reset your device.

Swipe 3D Life plus tab -- hard reset
Hi Everyone,
I know how troublesome it is to unlock a Swipe 3D life plus tablet. Truly speaking . there is no way to unlock it other than hard resetting it. Even if your tablet is under warranty, the company through their service centers charge you around 250 bucks which is quite annoying.
After a lot of attempts, i figured out the way to hard reset it. It is exactly the same as you would hard reset a Google Nexus 7 tab.
So here is the procedure (follow carefully)
1) Switch off your tablet
2) Your tablet has only three buttons, one for power and a combined button for vol - and vol +.
3) Press and hold Power until the device powers on, then immediately press and hold Volume Down(while still pressing Power).
4) Within a few seconds, it would say: Encryption unsuccessful and you can find a menu on screen saying "Reset Tab".
5) Just select that "Reset Tab" option. it would show android logo (do nothing , just wait a couple of seconds)It would automatically shutdown and boot up again.
6) This time it will take a little longer to load.
7) Finally It will prompt you to the home screen.
Hope this helps !!!

thnx for replying... i thought no 1 will help me..... but u reply so late.... i gave that swipe tab to service centre and they charged me too but no problem i got the solution for future...
Thought I would share my experience with this PITA tablet.
Just spent a few days scratching my head trying to factory reset a Lexibook Barbie MFC190BBEN model Android tablet.
It belongs to a 7 year old girl who put a password lock on it for some reason then forgot her password (much to her Mum's annoyance).
The Lexibook support site suggests going into settings and selecting factory reset.
Obviously this cannot be done as the tablet is locked so their next suggestion is to send it back for 'out of warranty' repair!
Some serious googling got me as far as recovery mode (sort of) which involves the reset button being pressed with a paperclip whilst pressing the power button and volume up at the same time whilst connected to a pc via usb.
This gets you a blank tablet screen, adb access but no fastboot and the adb is very limited and stops responding to simple commands.
It uses a Rockchip processor but most of the drivers do not give a stable connection.
After lots of trying to get stable connections so I can push a custom recovery (or get anything at all to talk to the damn tablet) I found that if you disonnect the usb cable and reset the tablet with the reset button you need to hold BOTH volume buttons then press the power button for a couple of seconds..keep holding the volume buttons and you should get the Android robot with a red exclamation mark.
From here I reconnected to the pc and adb could now see a device in recovery mode but with a serial of 0123456789ABCDEF
Still no joy with any adb commands....
Just a few reboots to blank screen again with no adb.
So I reset again and held the two volume buttons to get back to the Android with red exclamation mark again.
Some more googling found a different type of Rockchip based tablet that suggested NOW pressing the power button and volume up quickly..........
Well it turns out this tablet DOES have its own recovery!!!
No amount of googling told me this!!
So after days of messing about with drivers and button presses it turns out it is a simple task to reset from recovery.
You use the volume keys to choose from the minimal options in the recovery menu and use power to select.
Due to the amount of googling I did with no answers that worked (or even came close to an answer) I thought I would share this in the hope it would save someone else from pulling their hair out and keep their child happy!

you're legend, mate ... I've been trying to put google services and youtube on it for ages. Now it seems it can be done!
No mater how i press the buttons the android robot never appears just the normal start screen please describe the key pressing combination again
Press the reset button with a paperclip whilst you hold BOTH volume buttons then press the power button for a couple of seconds.
Keep holding the volume buttons and you should get the Android robot with a red exclamation mark.
NOW press the power button and volume up quickly..
This should get you into 'recovery'
Thank you. I ll give it a go. Do you know who makes the barbie tablet? I would like to get inttouch with them if it doesn't work.
I have a 7in. Trio Stealth G2. Its is stuck in a boot loop. Im currently waiting on the battery to die so I can try to hard reset that way, and to get to the Android recovery menu. The reset button on the back is completely useless at this point. Other than bouncing it off the wall im at the end of my rope. Tech support reps at Machspeed are anything but tech support. (they asked to walk me through the hard reset 3x)
Hi there,
From this thread I will quote the steps for reset: Trio Stealth G2 Hype frozen at boot logo
Hard Reset G2 – In the case of password lockouts or freezing, doing a hard reset on your android device could help you get back to the factory defaults. First you need to make sure your tablet is powered off. Hold down on the Volume + button and hold down the Power button at the same time. As soon as the tablet's screen turns on let go of the Power button but keep the Volume + button held down until you see a large Android in the center of the screen. At this point you will see a screen with boot options. Use the Volume – button to go down to Wipe Data Factory Reset and tap the Power button to select this option. On the next screen use the Volume – button again to go down to Yes and use the Power button to select. At this point it will be going through the wiping and resetting process. When it's done you will see the first screen you came to when you first started the setup. Just tap the Power button to select Reboot System Now.
Make sure tablet is powered off.
Hold down Volume + button and Power button at same time.
When screen comes on let go of Power button.
When the large Android shows on screen let go of Volume + button.
Use Volume – button to scroll to Wipe Data/ Factory Reset
Tap Power button to select.
Use Volume – button to scroll to Yes.
Tap Power button to select.
Tap Power button to select Reboot System Now.

i am having a problem my slim book model clp293 by icraig freezes at the loading screen after the blue screen. i power it off then hold the power button at turn on for 14 seconds and it will not bring up the menu where i can select a factory reset. unlike tablets you hold power button and volume up key to boot into the eset menu. slimbooks have no volume key. i am desperate. can anyone in simple terms explain how to get to it? i can not find the firmware package either online. i already called craig electronics they were no help. Thank you so much
Hi !
With the device powered on , hold the power button for 12 - 14 seconds until the recovery mode pops-up
There are some youtube videos around , check it out
Good luck !

unfortunately when it powers on it freezes at the boot screen and does not load to the main screen. even when it freezes i have done the holding of the power button and all it does is reset the unit, then goes back to the main blue screen. i have tried with the unit off holding the power button for 14 seconds and it does not bring up the back way to factory reset. not many videos on youtube for my model. just about to give up. thank you though for your reply.
