I'm trying to log-in to my tablet, which I haven't been on in about 2 months. I can't remember my PIN. It's not giving me a chance to log-in with my Google account, so I don't know what to do.

1I really doubt you've used a correct tag here. If it's not a samsung-galaxy-s, then please update your question. Mentioning correct tablet model might help in receiving help. <br>...As well as rebooting your device can.– peacefoolCommented Apr 23, 2014 at 8:09

Instructions:-
- Download Aroma File Manager latest version

- Reboot into recovery
4. For CWM:
Mount all partitions (including sd-ext if you have it)
And flash Aroma File Manager from sdcard
For stock recovery:
In stock recovery, there is no option to mount partitions, so
Flash Aroma File Manager, Click on menu option and go to settings
Select Mount All Partitions
Now, exit from Aroma File Manager and reflash it.
Now, you will see each partition is mounted 5. Now, go to /data/system
Note : If you have sd-ext mod to increase internal storage, go to /sd-ext/system/ 6. Now, If you have to remove pattern lock, long press and delete gesture.key
If you want to remove password, delete password.key If you want to remove gesture, delete gesture.key
- Exit the Aroma File Manager

If you have not rooted your tablet just hard reset it.

1I don't think it matters if you are rooted or not. You can do a factory restore either way.– krikaraCommented Jul 8, 2014 at 6:02
