So I've gone away for a week leaving my mother in possession of my tablet, she obviously had forgotten the pattern causing a lock out. I am now required to enter my google account that I used to sign up with. For some unknown reason it is telling me that I have got an incorrect combination. I went online changed my password and tried again still it says I have it wrong. I have held down the reset button only for the tablet to turn off and on returning to the screen. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum!
I moved your thread to the Acer Tablet forum.
Not sure why this is not working, but is your WiFi turned on and connected? It will need to communicate with Google to unlock. I have not tried it using a password change myself.
Beyond this, you will have to do a Factory Data Reset I believe. This will wipe the tablet of all of your user data.

Thanks, I have checked the wifi but it still didn't work. How do I do the Factory Data Reset? I'm fine with losing the data as my mum is going to keep it. As I said I've tried the reset button but it just returned to the same screen. Thanks for your help.
