Can't factory reset without password and yes I have tried factory reset

[Android Central Question]

Hey so I've been trying to factory reset but the problem is I need to shut the tablet all the way off but, I cant do that because it requires a password to turn it off, and I forgot it so I cant do anything I tried the other buttons but it brought me to the os warning screen instead of the hard reset what do I do?

Assuming that it's a Samsung, we have a great video tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RG7Jh6zweJk

Can go into recovery and put your Google credentials when it boots up
