Introduction
If you perform a hard reset, you will lose all your data including photos, documents, etc.
Only perform a hard reset if you are having operating system problems, you forgot your password, PIN, or pattern lock, or if you want to erase all the data stored on your device.
This procedure is compatible with the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 (model numbers SM-T211, SM-T215, SM-T215), Galaxy Tab 3 Lite 7.0 (model number SM-T110), Galaxy Tab 3 Lite 7.0 3G (model number SM-T111) and Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 WiFi (model numbers P3210, SM-T210).
If your tablet is connected to the Internet and you have a Google account on it, you may be able to bypass the security with Android Device manager using this YouTube video guide. Using this method will save your personal data.
If you have a problem with navigation in the Android System Recovery menu, you can see an explanation of how to fix it in the ‘Problem with navigation in the Android System Recovery menu’ guide.

for ALL that come here READ this: scroll up to under the video and click “video source”. This takes you to original on youtube. Good. Now scroll down below the vid to the description. Click on “show more”. READ. It explains very specifically near the end. I was not having success until I read and did, Viola!! It worked. I personally screen shot it to save to my other info for this device. Thought I would come back here to tell others that come here one day in the future what i found and can get it and not end up being frustrated. Good luck to all. The original poster here should have mentioned to seek out the original video. Bogus!!! “Fixit” did a terrible job.
It will not let me highlight Yes -- delete all user data, it highlights the one before and the one after. Please help, getting desperate.

When you are one before "Yes -- delete all user data" press one time the Volume Down button. The highlight will stay at the same line but relay your choose well be next line.
This is the problem with the Android system. Read the description to video in YouTube. I tried to explain there, how to resolve this problem.
