Forgot the old pin number for my Voyager 3 tablet

Hello, thank you for using Howly.

Customer Replay

I have a Voyager 3 RCA tablet I had it for years and I got the PIN number and I can't get into this thing without the PIN number is it anyway that you can help me reset a PIN number in this thing I have five more tries and then it's going to cut off about 8 or 12 hours

So, your Voyager RCA is locked and you can not get through the start up screen, correct?

Customer Replay

The night comes on but if I say I can't I'm going off other than asking me for a PIN number and I put the pin I thought I had in there and it doesn't work

It asks you for the PIN right when you start up the tablet, correct?

Customer Replay

Yes like I said comes on but it says a little chart there hasn't tried pin number and I like I said I had it for about 15 10 or 15 years depend I put in there I can't remember

Okay, understood.
You can perform a factory reset of your tablet, which will help you to get rid of the current PIN, but it will also delete all your data stored on the tablet. Is it acceptable for you?

Customer Replay

Yes all I wanted to do is get it to work

Okay, I'll tell you how you can perform a factory reset.
But keep in mind, that all data will be erased and you will not be able to recover the deleted data

Customer Replay

Let let's do it

  1. Press and hold thevolume up
  2. Press and hold power while holding the volume up
  3. Release power when the RCA logo comes up

Tell me once you've done so or if there are any troubles on the way, please

Customer Replay

It's still asking me for a pin

You need to press and hold the Volume up and Power buttons at one time

Customer Replay

Do I cut the tablet off and start off again or what I tried it while I was on I cut it off and I powered it off I restarted it and it's still asking me for a pin

It needs to be powered off

Customer Replay

Okay let me try that
Okay I powered back on and I have the volume up and it's still asking me for a pen

I'm sorry, you need to turn off the tablet, and hold both Volume Up and Power at the same time, please

Customer Replay

Do I do this while it's off and screen is dark or black do I wait to the dog come up and I don't know I did what you said but the dog came up on the screen and I held her power button and the volume up at the same time and they still come up to start Android until your PIN

Yes, you should do it while the tablet is completely turned off

Customer Replay

Customer Replay

Could you please clarify, did it power off after you selected it?

Customer Replay

No I still got the screen in front of you but like I say it's got on these lines I can't press nothing you know how you would tap on icons I tapped all of the lines where I say do something that's not doing anything

Please use your volume up and volume down buttons in order to scroll up and down and the power button in order to select.

Customer Replay

Customer Replay

Could you please clarify if you need help with setting it up?

Customer Replay
