Password.

Postby Lyric » Thu Feb 23, 2023 5:39 pm

My tablet, fairly new, is a Samsung Galaxy A8 LTE.
It has been sat on my desk since lunchtime turned on standing by.
I have just gone to it and it is asking for a password.
I have never set a password as far as I recall.
Any one give me a steer on what to do please.

Hi Lyric,
What do you normally do when finishing with Samsung Galaxy A8 LTE.......... turn it off :?:

Try powering it off , leave for 60 seconds and power on.............. let us know how you get on.
All my best learning experiences start with a problem I need to solve.

Not that easy, normally I would just turn off yes, but it is now not possible without the dreaded password. I've had a google around and it this does seem to be a Samsung game, the usual advice being using "Find my device" to reset the password. It needs the password to reset the password naturally.
