I bought a galaxy Tab a7 lite at an estate sale place. Tried to set it up, but it’s locked out of resetting without a password which unfortunately died with it’s previous owner. I called samsung, who told me I need to find someone to do a factory reset bypass.

I don’t want to use it as a phone, just as a tablet.

I did some reading online and looked at some software supposedly meant for the purpose, but no luck.

Any advice out there?

    Funny way, if you can, would be to unlock the bootloader, then relock it. Fairly certain that would wipe it “with ease.”

    Alternatively, you can probably get to recovery easier and wipe from there?
