That's correct

Understood.
Okay, the only option that we have is to perform a factory reset of your RCA tablet. But it will delete all of your info, are you up to it?

Customer Replay

Yes

Okay, firstly you need to turn off your tablet.

Customer Replay

Ok it's off

Now, with your tablet turned off, press and hold the volume up button.
While holding the volume up button, press the tablet’s power button until you see the RCA logo with Nipper and Chipper on the screen.
After a few seconds, the screen will change and you will see the Android bot on his back with a caution symbol above him.

It didn't unlock it. It's still asking for security pin

Got you
Let's try the instructions again
Follow the instructions below:

  1. With your tablet turned off, press and hold the volume up button. While holding the volume up button, press the tablet’s power button until you see the RCA logo with Nipper and Chipper on the screen. After a few seconds, the screen will change and you will see the Android bot on his back with a caution symbol above him.
  2. Now you are going to press and hold the tablet’s power button, and without releasing the power button press down on the volume up button. You should then see the screen below.
  3. Use the tablet’s volume up and down keys to navigate to and select the "wipe data/factory reset" option. To select this option, press the power button.

And then try these:

  1. The tablet is going to ask you to confirm your selection. Use the tablet volume up and down keys to navigate to and select "Yes – delete all user data." Once again, use the power button to select this option.
  2. At the bottom of the next screen, you will see "Data wipe complete." Press the power button to restart the system.
  3. The system will begin to reboot and once again display the RCA logo with Nipper and Chipper. The next "Welcome" screen will prompt you to select your language of choice. Scroll through the options using your finger and press start when finished. "
