Welcome to the forum. Some tablets have different methods to reset. There are 2 types of reset, and some have a small hole about the size of a small paper clip that you can stick a paper clip in that will do a reset for a tablet that is hung up.
Were you wanting to do a factory, (data wipe), reset?
Hi dddill, congratulations on your new tablet and welcome to the forum. Nice to have you as a member of Android Tablets. I'm moving your thread to the Android Tablet Q&A section for you, where more people are likely to join the discussion and try to help you reset that tablet. Good luck!
