well im a noob to this tablet and I was playing around with it and set a pattern lock thinking it would be a funny thing to do so that my wife wouldnt be able to got on the tablet. but then about 30min later I forgot what the hell the pattern was. it tablet is brand new so there is nothing really saved on there I would like to know if there is a way I can just put everything back to defaults or take this lock off. Im still able to use the tablet but if the screen isnt used in 30min it goes into sleep mode then I have to use the unlock pattern to open it. So I have to turn it off then back on just to use it again

It says to hold the power and back button at the same time for 8 seconds. Read all of the instructions carefully and then try again.

If you can get into your recovery you can wipe the data and cache aka factory reset.

No, it won't work. You can try an "SD card init" instead: turn on tablet holding the silver (Home) button with no card in the external slot, you should see some info on screen then confirm with VolumeUp key. It will completely erase your internal card, so you may want to try something else if you have data that you don't wanna lose.
