It depends on your type of password and Android version. Password/Pattern/Facelock passwords can be 'Bypassed' by several ways, which are mentioned in the link below:

Android Guide Hacking And Bypassing Android Password Pattern Face PI

I haven't tested those methods, so be careful. And there are a few note to pay attention to:
- I'm not the provider of all those methods. I'm just copy & pasting the link so that you can refer, so all the credit goes to the author of the article.
- I'm not responsible for any damages caused by one of the methods, so do it at your own risk.
- If you haven't heard of 'Rooting', it's best not to know as it could void warranty.

You can try resetting the password or pin through the Android Device Manager page.
I have done this 5 or 6 times for myself and clients without erasing everything with a factory reset.
It is worth a try before wiping out your device.
Since Google's help page didn't have this I wrote it up here.

You can try to open it with your google account, but you must be near to the internet that you used before.

How do you get a passcode off a prestige elite 8 QI tablet?

If you forgot the passcode to unlock your Prestige Elite 8QI tablet, you can try the following methods:
  1. Use Google account: If your tablet is linked to a Google account, you can try to unlock it using the associated Google account credentials. On the lock screen, tap "Forgot Pattern" or "Forgot Password" and follow the instructions to enter your Google account username and password.
  2. Factory reset: If the above method doesn't work, you can perform a factory reset on your tablet to remove the passcode. Please note that this will erase all data on your tablet, so make sure to back up your files before proceeding.
To factory reset your Prestige Elite 8QI tablet, follow these steps:
  • Power off your tablet.
  • Press and hold the Volume Up button and the Power button at the same time until the logo screen appears.
  • Release the Power button but continue holding the Volume Up button until the Android System Recovery menu appears.
  • Use the Volume buttons to navigate to "Wipe data/factory reset" and press the Power button to select it.
  • Use the Volume buttons to navigate to "Yes -- delete all user data" and press the Power button to confirm.
  • Once the reset process is complete, use the Volume buttons to navigate to "Reboot system now" and press the Power button to restart your tablet.
Your Prestige Elite 8QI tablet should now be unlocked and ready to use.

I forgot my passcode to unlock it to get to my home screen

The solution i a little brutal :(

input random passcodes (3 or 4 times) until the Fire gives up and warns you that it will reset to Factory Defaults.

This will reset your Fire to how it was when it was made so you will need to:
Find your wifi connection again;
Register your Fire to your Amazon account again.
Download any of your Amazon books or Apps again from your Amazon cloud (Don't worry, you don't have to buy them again, just download them.)

Forgot my passcode symbol on my tablet an need to reset it please

This works with devices having physical home button

1.
Press the power button and the home button together for a while, long enough until the screen appears with Android bot and a progress bar which shows that it's formatting the internal memory. With NO physical HOME button:-


2. In case your device does not have a physical home button, press the power button and both the volume keys together for few seconds.


3. Press gently the "reset pin-hole" present generally on a side of Tablet. Use a clip-pin or similarly fine thing to gently push inside to reset your device to factory settings.

Note: I Use My Tablet SUNBERRY, and reset my Tablet
Turn Off your Tablet and then
Press Power + Volume Down (Press up Factory menu Show)

If you use Android 2.2 (Froyo)
Press Wipe data / Factory Reset -> Yes, Delete ALL user data -> if Finish press Reboot Now
