Factory Reset on Your HP Slate & Tablet
Resetting your HP tablet restores the original factory settings, removing all stored Google Accounts and erasing all stored data. All locally saved files, apps, and saved networks are deleted. If possible, back up important files, either on the Web or with an external storage device, before resetting the tablet (refer to the HP support document Transferring and Backing Up Files on Your HP Tablet for more information). The Google Accounts themselves, and any data synced to the Web, are not affected by a reset.
You can reset the tablet with the power turned off or on. If the tablet boots normally and you are able to access the settings menu, use the steps in Resetting your HP tablet with the tablet powered on. If the tablet does not boot normally, or if you do not remember the tablet's lock screen password, use the steps in Resetting your HP tablet with the tablet powered off.
