Disable the screenlock on Samsung Galaxy Tab with forgotten password? I was given a Samsung Galaxy Tab last year for my birthday and I put a password on it but now when I try to get back into it I can't as I have forgotten the password.

I was just wondering if there is a way to disable the screenlock without deleting the files on the tablet.
Try Hard Reset.
To Hard Reset please follow the below steps. 


With the device off, press and hold Volume Up, Power and Home button.
Release the Power button when you see the Samsung logo, but continue to hold Volume Up until the recovery screen appears.
Use the Volume buttons to navigate the menu and select wipe data / factory reset. Press Power to choose the selection.
Press Volume Up continue.


Note: These steps clear data from the device. SD card data like your photos and music are not erased unless you choose to format the SD card. You may have to lose some files, but some of them may be able to be recovered.
