Versus Hard Reset

[collis2k3]

Hi All,

This or something has been asked a million times i'm sure, so here's to a million and one.

I've been given a Versus tablet that is in need of a hard reset.
The previous owner who purchased it got himself an ipad long ago and stopped using it, thus forgot the lock code and which gmail account was in use on it.
typical...

so, i've tried all the usual:
- VOL + & Power -- this does nothing at all and the tablet doesnt boot.
- VOL - & Power -- well, this gets me into the chinese diagnostic menu.
- Long press power button -- apart from a painful finger nothing.
- Long press the reset button on the rear - see above - and i bent a perfectly good paper clip for it too.
- trying a soft reboot several times during boot - sigh....

ok, i give, apart from a crash course in chinese how do i get the tablet to allow me to factory reset the thing?

The buttons i have are:
Power
VOL - VOL + (rocker button)
Reset (button on rear)

Thanks in advance all

Is the settings in Chinese too? Usually on the settings page there's an option to reset.

If you mean the diagnostic menu you can get to, then ive no idea

I meant the phone settings, usually there is an icon to open them that looks like a round gear.

Cant access the tablet settings, its locked. Hence hard reset needed

Sometimes if you press the power and volume up buttons at the same time, theres an option to boot into recovery. If you can do that, I think you can reset.

Hence i'm asking here in the hope that someone has come across one of these before and knows how to do it.

It would have been at least a day ago that I read the OP. Read lots of OPs since then and before. I don't generally reread every thread before I reply. Maybe someone reads Chinese and can telepathically tell you what your options are. Ever so much luck to you.

I'm thinking the Chinese screen may be what you want... Pwr & VolDn usually gets you to a menu to run recovery. VolUp and VolDn now moves a bar to select options. Can you show us what it looks like? Maybe somebody here can read it and tell us what to hit.
