How do I reset a forgotten PIN on a BLU Android tablet?
Answer
A forgotten BLU tablet PIN usually cannot be recovered. The standard fix is a factory reset from Android recovery mode, which erases local data and then requires the Google account previously used on the tablet.
Before you start: stop right away if…
- Factory reset deletes apps, photos, and messages stored only on the tablet.
- Do not share Google account codes with third-party unlock sellers.
Follow these steps
Try biometric or smart unlock options
On the lock screen, check for fingerprint, face unlock, or any Forgot PIN link before resetting.
You should see: The tablet unlocks, or no alternate unlock method is available.
Boot into recovery mode
Power off the tablet, then use the BLU model’s recovery key combination, commonly Volume Up + Power, until the Android recovery menu appears.
You should see: The recovery menu is on screen.
Perform a factory reset
Highlight Wipe data/factory reset with the volume keys, confirm with Power, then reboot the system when finished.
You should see: The tablet restarts to the initial setup wizard.
Sign in and set a new PIN
Connect to Wi-Fi, sign in with the previous Google account when prompted, finish setup, and create a new PIN stored somewhere safe.
You should see: The tablet is usable again with a new lock screen code.

Extra tips
What to look for: The lock-screen type, whether Forgot PIN appears, and any model or Android version printed in Settings or on the device label if you can still access it.
Before you change anything: Back up what you can from another synced Google account view on a computer. Find the Google email that was on the tablet. Confirm the tablet is a BLU Android model. Never give Google passwords to unexpected unlock services.
