Tablet Asking For Password to Decrypt Storage?

[ajingst]

My tablet had been uncharged for a while. When I charged it up it keeps asking me for a password to decrypt storage. I can't get passed this screen. What do I do?

Welcome to the forum

Had you encrypted it? If so, did it ask you for an encryption password when you did it?

I had only put a 4 digit pass code on it, just so my children couldn't get on it

What do I do?

Enter your 4 digit pass code.

Try doing a factory reset: http://www.androidtablets.net/threads/how-do-i-factory-reset-my-tablet.62022/

If there are no instructions there specifically for your tablet, try some of the methods for other tablets. One of them will probably work and you won't hurt anything by trying.
