Locked out - multiuser

[Madonnell0]

I added a 2nd user on my galaxy tab, just experimenting. Months later, I switched user to it, just playing around. And discovered I don't know it's login pattern. Can't login, cant switch user back, and can't reboot (requires pattern to reboot) - all of them want the 2nd user pattern, which I don't know. And it's up to 10 minutes between login attempts, as I keep trying. I'm stuck! Suggestions?

unfortunately the only thing you can do is hard reset your device. any other discussion about how to bypass the lockscreen is frowned upon here in this forum.

But what I really want to do is just switch back to my primary user, so I can log in as usual. But I seem stuck on the screen needing the 2ary user pattern.

You can't bypass the lockscreen. You have to enter the pattern correctly. If you don't know it, then you have to do a hard reset. There is no way around it.

Resolved: power + volume to reboot brings me back to main account login. (why didn't I think of that?)
