Got a tablet from rentacenter a few months back and i only need it for school (monday) and im just getting around to turning it on only to realize there's a passcode!
Of course I tried to wipe everything off by doing a factory restore but that's not working. I tried power + volume down, power + volume up, with and without the keyboard attatchment. all of those combinations lead to either the screen turning off or just the tablet powering on in safe mode. any tips?

I got this asus 10.1 android tablet from my mom and I can't get into it. It has a passcode and I have tried more then 10times to factory reset it, but it won't give me the screen it's supposed to show. Is there some way to bypass the code to get into it.

I need the same advice
See enclosed page from Incite manual.
Lg incite hard reset
To perform a hard reset
• A Hard Reset should only be performed after all other trouble shooting options have been exhausted.
After a hard reset, the device is restored to its default settings - the way it was when you first
purchased it and turned it on. Any programs you installed, data you entered, and settings you
customized on your device will be lost.
1. Power the device ON
2. Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Clear Storage.
3. Enter 1234 for the password twice.
4. Press Enter.
5. Select what to reset.
You have to enter your password and confirm again for hard reset. However when you forget your
password, the only way to hard reset the device is via the hard key sequence.
1. Power the device OFF.
2. Press and hold the following hard keys in sequence.
left side - down rocker button - right side camera button - front right phone button
Keep pressing keys until your LCD screen turns on.
Align screen will appear if you success hard key reset.
1. Remove & replace the battery 1st
2. Hold down at the same time:
Volume Down + Camera + Power until the Windows Mobile screen appears.
DONE

Confirm it works....Make sure the sequence of keys is ...volume....camera....power key. Hold till WM 6.1 screen comes on.
Don't forget to put battery back before reset
i am also unable to perfor m a hard reset doing the key sequence..please help!!
Another solution
If you followed the steps above and the phone is still not hard resetting, you can try to enter Emergency Download mode and update the ROM. My phone would not hard reset and just kept getting stuck at the AT&T logo screen. I downloaded the V10X ROM update from the LG website and followed the instructions contained in the update. After the update, the phone works perfectly.

and until green right goes off. (while WM green screen on)
The process works without flaw unless you are not properly holding the buttons or for the right amount of time. I have posted the directions in a tutorial and you are welcome to take a look, try it and I am sure if you follow it, it will work for you.
1. Resetting Device
2. Flashing Original ROM

Unfortunately this site only deals with HTC phones, not LG. So I doubt that you will get much help here, sorry.
dang. since it's an android phone i thought this place would be a good place for help. any suggestions on where i could get help?
i called lg and rogers and none of them were any help
I will get mine in a couple days (running HTC Dream right now).
I guess if your goal is to just reset the gmail account, you can do so by reseting the google apps setting.
Go to Menu|Settings|Applications|Manage applications
Look for “Google Apps“. Select it.
Press “clear data“
next time you launch the market or gmail, it will prompt for your gmail account again.
I wish I could do that, but the phone won’t even let me go to home screen. Once I turn on the phone it asks for the gmail to get past security. The only access I have on the phone is Emergency Dial
On the EVE to do a FACTORY RESET or DATA RESET
enter in 3845#*620# in the dialer to get in to LG’s hidden menu.
DO THE FOLLOWING TO RESET LG GW620 TO FACTORY SETTINGS.
Hold down the VOLUME DOWN button, MENU button (the one on the keyboard), and CAMERA button for about 5-10 seconds, and a message will come up asking if you want to factory reset the phone.
Important : all data will be lost

GW620 Factory Reset
Hi, Just to let you all know that I been stuck with a home page that would not load properly but would not close either for the last 24 hours before finding this page! No calls, texts or anything!! I was starting to have withdrawal symptoms. LOL However as long as I got my phone on, & with a little manoeuvring, I managed to get all three of these buttons pressed together & my GW620 did indeed go to the Factory Reset message! Thank you Davy.d

Just to clarify it.. Phone should be ON when you use that key combination. Will work. Tested.
the combinations don't work...the only thing you can do is flashing another firmware it resets the phone
hello, I have an ASUS TF101. It has been locked after many fails of pattern login by my nephew. And it asks to use google account to unlock it. However, WIFI on it is turned off, hence it can not connect to the internet. I tried to do a hard reset to recover to factory settings. but failed all the time. After pressing VOLUME DOWN and POWER buttons, it goes as normal boot. anyone can give suggestions? thank you in advance!
So someone decided it was funny to keep on trying to get my password and eventually locked the whole thing. You can unlock this buy logging in to your email but the wifi on it is turned off. The tablet is rooted. I just don't want to do a factory reset so is there any other way to unlock it?

uhmmm maybe try and reboot ??
You don't happen to have a USB-to-ethernet adapter, do you?
Maybe this helps
Hard Reset
A hard reset (also known as a factory reset) will clear all data and settings from the memory of the device and set it back to factory default settings. You can perform hard reset on the Asus Eee Pad using the Android OS menus or the hardware buttons.
Method 1
1. Power the Eee Pad off.
2. Press and hold the Volume Down button on the left side of the device, then press and hold the Power button.
3. Continue to hold both buttons until a bootloader screen appears.
4. Wait for the prompt that says to “Press <VOL_UP>” then press the Volume Up button to start the process.
The Asus Eee Pad will complete the hard reset process and reboot into a factory default state.

I think I might have one at home. Will that connect the internet automatically?
If the adapter has the right chipset and stuff, yes. If you know anybody with an Apple USB-to-ethernet adapter, that one should work too.
Does the reset hole work? I think there is a small hole by the micro HDMI port that you can put a pin or paperclip into and reset. I don't have my pad with me at work, but I feel like I remember using this once for a similar reason.

A possible solution?
Can't you just unlock it from ADB? Since its not letting you input the password anymore, then I don't know if this will work.
But here's the command to try to unlock it anyway.
If its a pattern, then try this "rm /data/system/gesture.key"
If its a password or pin, try this "rm /data/system/password.key"
Don't forget to ask for SU permissions first.

Hi,
As far as I've ever known, a factory reset, or reflashing your stock or custom rom is the only way to get into the device now. That's exactly what the password is for, so no one can access your data. So any option to bypass the password involves wiping your data completely.
Sorry, but that's how it works by design.
Good luck!
Thank you. Thread closed.
