Power button , up volume , n home button will reset it and reset to put new password or just hold power button until it goes off and then hold power button until it comes on then off then press till it comes on

If it's android then you can reset it but you will lose all the apps you installed along with any saved passwords.
power off the tablet by holding down power until screen goes blank.
hold both the power button and the volume up button for at least ten seconds.it should boot to android logo...then a robot with red exclamation.leave it alone until the option to reset screen appears.
follow onscreen instructions to reset.

Hi, you can try resetting by following the below steps. It works for most tablets.
1 turn off the tablet
2 press and hold the power button and keep tapping the volume down button at the same time.
3 it should take you to recovery screen. Go to factory reset by using volume button and select by using either the center button on the tablet or the power button if there is no center button.
Please reply if it helped

hold up menu button with power button together

First you have to attempt to type in or guess the password 5-10 times make sure that it is plugged into the wall outlet and that it is charged up fully. Once you guess a few times shut it down and power it back up the sec you see the hkc screen let go over the power button and push and hold the home button. Hold the button till you see the dead android with the yield sigh then let got of the home button. Once you achieve this you then push the power button down and tap the home button once you have to be quick about this don't hold the power button for more then 5 sec or you will have to start again you will get the service screen where you can do a factory reset . You can scroll down with the home button and the enter button is the bower button hope this helps it took me 2 days and limited resource to figure this out but it works you need lots of calmness and time but this iOS the fix with no volume button good luck

ALL CREDIT OF THIS GOES TO HKC...
this 100% works to factory reset if you are locked out of a hkc p886a tablet...

1)Make sure the tablet is NOT connected to the charger
2) Power off the tablet by holding down the power button for about 10 seconds
3) Once it is off, hold down the HOME button and connect the charger while the button's being held down.
4) When you see the HKC logo come up, let go of the HOME button.
5) Eventually, you'll see an Android logo with a red exclamation mark. If you don't, repeat step 3-5.
6) If you do see the Android logo, hold down the POWER and HOME at the same time for one second and just let go of the HOME which should bring up a "Recovery mode" menu with blue letters. Make sure you let go of the POWER button as soon as you see the menu pop up, otherwise your tablet will just shut itself again.
7) Navigate to "wipe data/factory reset" using the HOME button and select with the POWER button.
8) Navigate to "Yes - delete all user data" and select it.
9) Once it's done, you should see the menu come up again. Navigate to "Wipe Cache" and press the POWER button
10) It should take you back to the recovery menu. Simply press the POWER button while highlighted on the "Reboot system now"
