There are 2 ways:

Option 1 - (works if your tablet is connected to the internet) attempt your pattern or PIN 5 times and fail. If using a pattern, must be 4 dots to be considered an attempt. Then it will prompt you to login with your Google Account to reset your PIN/Pattern. This only works if your WiFi is on and you are near an access point you have previously connected to.

Option 2 - Factory Reset (wipes the tablet clean). This method you will need to find out how to use the hardware buttons in combination to do a factory reset. It may be in the manual, or you may have to call the OEM to ask how to do it.
