    Default Google Nexus 7 tablet password locked, no keyboard

    Hi, really need some help here! My 9 year old daughter decided to put a password on her tablet 2 days ago. She forgot the pattern so now the tablet is locked because of too many pattern attempts. When I turn it on it asks for her email and password...but the keyboard will not pop up! Therefore, I obviously cannot type it in. I have no idea how to fix this. Any tips? I do not mind doing a complete reset if someone can guide me through it. Thanks

    1. If your tablet is on, power it off.
    2. Press and hold Power until the device powers on, then immediately press and hold Volume Down (while still pressing Power). You will see the word Start with an arrow drawn around it.
    3. Press Volume Down twice to designate Recovery mode.
    4. Press Power to restart into Recovery mode. You will see an image of an Android robot with a red exclamation mark.
    5. While holding down Power, press Volume Up.
    6. Use the volume keys to scroll to "wipe data/factory reset" and press Power to select it.
    7. Scroll down to "Yes - erase all user data" and press Power to select it.

    Note: If at any point during the above steps your tablet becomes unresponsive, you can restart it by holding down the power button for several seconds.

    i may be wrong, but wouldnt you need a unlocked bootloader to access recovery mode?
