Reset to default

I am assuming she either set a new pin/password for you by mistake or you already had a pin/password before she locked it that you cannot remember. Either way you need to reset the pic/password. Here are the instructions for Android 4.4 which you are using:

"Older versions of Android — Android 4.4 KitKat and older — have an integrated way to bypass your pattern, PIN, or other password if you forget it."

"To find this feature, first enter an incorrect pattern or PIN five times at the lock screen. You’ll see a “Forgot pattern,” “forgot PIN,” or “forgot password” button appear. Tap it. You’ll be prompted to enter the username and password of the Google account associated with your Android device."

If you cannot remember the password to your Google account then complete this process first: https://www.google.com/accounts/recovery/

If you have still access to the number you used when creating the Google account, recovery will be easy, otherwise you will need to answer some security questions first.

Once you recover your account you can go back to the pin/password reset instructions for your tablet above.

  • Some models had modified their Android images to remove that little feature even on 4.4 :D :D :D . Thank you, Alcatel Pop C9. Absolutely no way provided to recover from a forgotten credential on that one. Only way (without finding an exploit) is to build an automatic input machine and let it try all the 10^6 (or 10^7; I can't remember) possibilities :D.
