Hello, I received a RCA Pro12 tablet as gift. When trying to adjust some settings was asked for a password- which I knew- but I decided to factory reset It, thinking this would eliminate the need to re-type psw everytime. BUT after the reset, I knew this is some manufacturer setting put in these tablets by factory. Now the initial password I had no longer works.
Do any of you guys know how to revert this? Or maybe this other password is a factory-first-time-user password?
Thanks in advance fro any support!
Updates?
Hey i know its been a while but i was wondering if you had figured anything out with this? I have been looking and looking to no avail

My firewall was blocking ntp.
I notice my phone cannot remember my new SSID and password. I need to repeat it every time I use it. Can someone advise the possible cause and fix. Thanks,
This is an old problem. I've offered up this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19200613#post19200613) as a solution. Probably could have found this with a search. You need root for this fix to work.
Thanks and the fix works well!
I bought my Tablet S yesterday and applied the 4.0.3 OTA update overnight so I can't say whether it was caused by the update or not, but here's what happens:
My phone keeps reverting back to PIN unlock. I never set it to PIN unlock before, and even when I change it back to slide unlock, after a little while it'll be back to PIN unlock.
Hi poebae,
that's a strange bevaior. Since u just bought ur tablet I'd assume u dont have much on it by now. So I'd factory reset it and see if it'll solve my problem.
Outta curiosity, how the hell do you get back in your tablet if it sets a PIN code you dont know?
Are you syncing corporate email? Some companies configure the exchange server to require Android and iOS phones to add extra security and one of those security options is to require a PIN.
However, it should have alerted you and prompted you to set the PIN rather than just changing the setting.

Yep, I ended up just doing a factory reset and that seems to have solved it.

I just used '0000'. I either got lucky and guessed the PIN that the original owner used (I bought it second hand), or that's some kind of default code.

Nope, not syncing corporate e-mail, but thank you for the suggestion!
My brother has bought a Sony Tablet however he has setup up a screenlock PIN/Password and subsequently forgotten it.
The tablet is more or less brand new and I doubt he even managed to get Google Play setup with a password.
He is going to confirm what model it is once he gets home tonight but on the assumption that all recent Sony tablets will be similar I am going to ask for help now. As it is brand new data loss is not an issue.
This probably looks like I am trying to access a stolen unit but believe me my brother is not capable of stealing a tablet. I nearly ctied when I saw his Facebook post telling everyone he was buying a tablet in Paris!! He is an IT numpty.
I have a couple of questions:
1. How does he perform a Factory Reset in order to start again. The instructions in the Manual (from Sony website) are aimed at doing the reset from within Jelly Bean.
2. He bought the unit in Paris because it was a gift for his French speaking wife. I suspect that I may have to help him set it up properly when he next visits the UK (they live in West Africa so all my support is via phone and email). Can I switch the OS language to English in order to get the various accounts setup and then switch it back to French?
1: To do a factory reset hold volume up then hit the power button. Keep holding the volume up and you will get into recovery where you can do a factory reset.
2: Yes you should be able to setup in one language the go into language and input in the settings menu and change to another.

Thanks Gordo. Much appreciated.

You can't remember your password? Keep trying. Otherwise a factory reset seems like the only option
