Whether your device has been showing a static screen for hours or you just want to set it to default settings to make it as good as new, the easiest solution is a reset. Unless your device has gone through major physical damages, you don’t need to take it to a shop for repair.

A lot of minor issues can be solved with a simple reset. Most people don’t know this and hence, don’t even try. You can follow these few easy steps and learn how to reset your RCA tablet at home.

Before You Start

Firstly, all glitches don’t require a reset. If the screen is not responding or the tab froze suddenly, what you need to know is how to reboot an RCA tablet in such a situation. Unlike most other tablets, RCA tablets come with a reset button at the back. The button is deep-set, so you may need a pin or paper clip to press it. Just long-press the reset button and your device will restart.

However, if you are facing any of the following issues like,

  • Slow performance or apps getting hung,
  • Forgot your password,
  • Or other glitches that are not fixed with a reboot,

Then you need to know how to factory reset RCA tablet, which is exactly what we have for you here.

Reset Process (Device On)

If you are not facing any technical issues and your tablet is working, you can factory reset it from Settings. This method can be used if you just want to erase your personal data or restore your device to default settings.

Step 1

Unlock your device and open Settings.

Step 2

Scroll down and you will find an option that says ‘backup and reset’. Tap on that and you will see a confirmation page that will tell you what happens once you confirm. It is recommended that you read this if you are unsure of what a factory reset will do to your device.

Alternatively, if you cannot find the ‘backup and reset’ option directly in Settings, it may be in a separate section. Go to Settings and then tap on Privacy. Here you will find the ‘backup and reset’ or ‘factory reset’ option.

Step 3

You will see a button that says ‘reset tablet’ or ‘factory data reset’. Select that and let your device complete the process.

Step 4

The reset is not completed until you restart the device. Some devices restart on their own, but if yours does not, you will have to restart it manually and your factory reset will be complete.

Reset Process (Device Off)

Use this method if you cannot unlock or turn on the tablet. For example, if you forgot your password. The steps for factory reset are similar but vary slightly for Android and Windows devices. We have covered both for your convenience.

Windows 

The most common RCA tab that runs on Windows is the Cambio 10.1. Most Windows tablets come with a keyboard. So, here is how to factory reset RCA tablet with keyboard, which can also be used to reset any RCA Windows tab.

Step 1

Completely switch off the device (if it isn’t off already).

Step 2

Turn it on again and while it is loading, press and hold the “fn” (function) button and repeatedly press F9 on your keyboard. Keep pressing until you see ‘Please wait’ appear on the screen. Release the function button once it appears.

Step 3

Wait a few seconds and select the ‘Troubleshoot’ option. Then select ‘Reset your PC’.

Conclusion

Using factory reset means you will lose your data. Unless this was your motive for resetting the device, make sure to backup. If you back it up properly or have a habit of using cloud storage, you have nothing to worry about. A factory reset can solve a lot of technical issues, but of course, it does not repair physical damages. Next time your device gets stuck, try this.
