Shut down your tablet then hold power and volume up to hold until your tablet is in recovery mode then select factory reset (use volume up and down to navigate and power to select)

Hi @Mark7779, this function is known as Google's FRP lock and is in place to protect devices from users that have been stolen. 

If you are able to reset your Google password from another device, I suggest doing this so that you can log in to approve the reset. If not, I recommend for you to head into your nearest authorised service centre with your proof of purchase so that we can take a closer look into this. 

*Note: service fees may be charged.

You need the password. Resetting the device through recovery mode will trigger Factory Reset Protection. This is to ensure the device can't be used if it's been stolen.

You'll have to try and remember the password, or reset the password through your pc (or other mobile device).

Have a read of the below for some options.
