I haven't used my tablet in ages and I cant remember the screen lock password its a Samsung ceo168 model SM-T530

Hi Mick,

If you know the Google account used on the tablet, should be able to reset lock code and access it.

What you need is another device, like a computer or another Android.

On the other device, login to the Google account used on the tablet though a browser, like chrome, Firefox, etc.

Once logged on, do a Google search for device manager. It'll probably ask for your login stuff again for security purposes.

Should bring up a list of all devices with that account, choose your tablet from the list.

It'll show a map of where your tablet is, along with other options. Look for something that says "lock this device" or something along that line, select it. It will ask you to assign a new lock screen code to your tablet, do so.

Enter the new lock code into your tablet and pa-chow, you got access.

This works at long as the device is on. Another handy tool in device manager is that if you lose it in your house, you can set an alarm off to find it, even is the volume is set to off.

Hope this helps.
