 Can someone please tell me how I can unlock my Samsung Tab A10? I forgot my password.

If you have a Samsung account on the device, you can try Find My Mobile: Link

If not, you can try Google's Find My Device: Link

Thank you SamsungGill. Unfortunately, I did not register my Samsung account on it.

I can definitely understand how frustrating this may be. Have you tried to do a factory reset?

• Ensure the device is powered off.
• Press and hold the Volume Up and Power buttons.
• Continue to hold Volume Up and Power buttons until the Android Recovery screen appears (about 10-15 seconds) then release both buttons. ...
• From the Android Recovery screen, select Wipe data/factory reset. ...
• Select Yes.

If this does not help I recommend sending your device in or visiting a local service center to perform this task. As we would like to gather additional information and look at this from a case by case basis please provide the full model code and the serial number of the device as well as your best contact phone number, name, and email.

Yes, but my tablet is still power on and I have to enter the password to power it down so I am waiting for the battery to go dead then try the factory reset.  Right now my battery life is at 91%. I will let you know if it work SamsungBri....Thank you for the suggestion.

My brother gave me his Samsung tablet SM-T580 but does not remember the password and I don't think it was associated with a gmail account or registered with Samsung. I did a factory reset which erased all data but it still won't unlock without a password, as it says it was previously associated with another account. Is there a solution to this, to bypass the lock screen or something??? Thanks

I am sorry. You will need to recover the password for the account to access the tablet.
