Reset Samsung Galaxy Tab S2

If you want to give away or sell your Samsung Galaxy Tab S2, it makes sense to reset it to factory settings so that the new owner cannot view your data. You can also use the function if you have forgotten the password. Once reset, you will have a fresh tablet in front of you again.

How do you reset the Galaxy Tab S2?

When you reset a Samsung Galaxy tablet, all settings and data are deleted and the Android operating system is reinstalled. The tablet will then be in the same state as when you first unboxed it. To reset the tablet, do the following:

1. Back up the data that is important to you before you reset the Galaxy Tab S2. Transfer them to the PC or save them in the cloud, such as Dropbox.
2. Open the "Settings" on your tablet.
3. Tap "Backup and Reset" and select "Reset to Factory Settings".
4. Confirm that you have read the data loss warning and wait while the tablet reboots a few times.

How do you perform a reset using the tablet buttons?

Alternatively, use the buttons on the tablet itself to reset it. Here's how it works:

1. Turn off the tablet.
2. Press and hold the "Power" button, "Volume Up" button, and "Home" button simultaneously until the Samsung logo appears.
3. After you have released the buttons, the "Recovery" menu appears.
4. Navigate with the "Quieter" or "Louder" buttons to the entry "wipe date/factory reset" and confirm with the "Power" button. Your tablet will now be reset to factory settings.
