Hacked.

Hello again! So i've been hacked by my neighbors and they've hacked all my family devices and more.. this has been going on since late 2020. id like to go into it more but i don't really feel like writing it all. There's ALOT more dirty stuff that they have been doing as well. They've been freezing up my lenovo tablet whereas i cant do anything on it and they keep doing stuff to it. How can i fully reset it to the point where it can't be frozen? And how can I keep my tablet from getting hacked? Please put in simpler words. Thanks!

I'm sorry to hear that you've been hacked by your neighbors. It's definitely a frustrating situation to deal with. To fully reset your Lenovo tablet, here are the steps you can follow:

1. Turn off your tablet.
2. Press and hold the Volume Up button, and then press and hold the Power button until the Lenovo logo appears.
3. Release the Power button but keep holding the Volume Up button until the Android system recovery screen appears.
4. Use the Volume buttons to highlight "wipe data/factory reset", and then press the Power button to select it.
5. Use the Volume buttons to highlight "Yes" and then press the Power button to confirm.
6. Wait for the reset process to complete, and then select "Reboot system now".

As for keeping your tablet from getting hacked in the future, here are a few tips:

1. Keep your operating system and apps up to date with the latest security patches.
2. Avoid downloading apps from unknown sources or suspicious websites.
3. Use long and complex passwords/passphrases and enable two-factor authentication whenever possible.
4. Avoid using public Wi-Fi networks that are unsecured and could be accessed by others.
5. Install security software, such as antivirus and anti-malware apps, to detect and remove threats.

I hope these steps help you reset your Lenovo tablet and keep it secure in the future.

What happens if i press factory reset? Will that wipe out all the data on my tablet? Will i have to start over and login again

Yes, a factory reset will wipe out all the data on your tablet, including apps, files, and accounts. So, you will have to start over and login again after the reset completes. That's why it's important to back up all your important data before performing a factory reset. You can backup your important data such as contacts, photos, and other files to Google Drive or any other cloud storage before resetting the tablet. After resetting, you will have to re-install your apps and configure your accounts again.

Wow. Okay. Thanks for your help!
