Recover access to Samsung Galaxy Tab A after forgetting the pattern lock I have Samsung Galaxy Tab A and I put a pattern lock on it, but sometime later, I forgot the pattern.

I've looked it up and the only options to recover are to have the tablet off, but I can't turn the tablet off without the passcode.

How to recover access to it?
Push the down volume button and power button at the same time. It reset my tablet and I just reentered the pattern and it worked. I hope this helps.
