Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0: keeps telling me that my password is wrong?

Mon, 25 Dec 2023 03:06:37 -0700

I have tried the password on my tablet many times for it to tell me that it is

THE WRONG PASSWORD!? I don't know how it could be the wrong password when I have been able to get into it in the past with the same password that I have on it?

So my question is how do I get into my tablet to reset the password or anything else when It won't let me? Is there some way I can get into my own Tablet?? I would appreciate any and all help!!

Thank you Cheryl

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1: Stuck on "Samsung" logo

Sat, 07 Jun 2025 13:07:25 -0700

When I turn on my Galaxy tab 2 10.1 it boots to the logo then goes to the "SAMSUNG" screen, then it stays there. I've tried to do a hard reset by holding down the power button and the volume up button and have done both reboot and wipe data and still gets hung on the "SAMSUNG" logo. What else can I do to fix this?

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0: Why can't I connect to Samsung apps?

Sun, 26 Jan 2020 21:47:25 -0700

I can't open Samsung apps. It keeps saying "check network connections," but I am already connected to Wi-Fi. Then a second message appears and says "Cannot find your location. Please check device settings." I've checked to make sure my location settings are all ticked and that my Wi-Fi is connected. Can someone please help?

My sister bought me a dopo 7" kitkat tablet with no volume buttons almost 2 years ago and my brother borrowed it but to give it back to me, he reset it but put my password back for me but it seems he put the wrong one as it won't let me in. I had him try to get it back unlocked but it wouldn't work. So now I'm stuck with a locked up tablet.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1: Why does my tablet respond to S-Pen but not my fingers?

Sun, 11 Dec 2022 00:02:48 -0700

I just finished repairing one problem I had, where the screen gets all discolored. Once I closed it up and started it, it would not respond to my touch, nothing. I tried the S-Pen and it worked fine. Does anyone know what could have caused this? I reopened it and check the ribbon connections, the only one that looks questionable was the central ribbon cable. Now, I don't know much about electronics, but I noticed that on all the other connectors for the ribbon cables, there was a locking switch. I don't think the connection this ribbon cable has one, and I fear that out of ignorance I may have damaged the connector attempting to flip the non-existent locking mechanism. I believe this to be the cable that connects to the front screen (Not the LCD), and is what is used to communicate the touch input. So I think this is where my problem lies. Can someone enlighten me with their perspective on this issue? I think it must be a damaged connector (requiring me to get a replacement motherboard), the ribbon cable isn't fully connected (tried my best), or something else I am not seeing. Hopefully it is fixable, I would hate to have to scrap a tablet just after 5 months of use. Could it possibly be a broken or damaged digitizer? I have dropped it a few times.
