Steps to Factory Reset most (if not all) Samsung tablets:

1. Turn off tablet.
2. After that Boot your tablet into Recovery Mode. You can do this by holding the Volume Up + Home + Power keys. When the Samsung Logo pops up, stop holding the power button but keep holding the rest.
3. Once your android device is in Recovery Mode, Go to the “wipe data/factory reset” option and select it.
4. After that go back to the recovery main menu and reboot the device by “reboot system now” option.
5. Wait for the device to boot up completely. This will take several minutes as it has just done a factory reset and needs to set itself up.
