Ransomware on my Galaxy Tab S 10.5

A

AC Question

Hi guys,
I have a big problem, a ransomware took over my tab and it demands a pin code, I cannot restart the tab in safe mode as it seems that the app managed to hide the "Safe Mode Restart", I also tried to factory reset it from ADB but I need to enable debugging on the tablet which of course I can't access.
Any other ideas on what I can do?
Thanks in advance.

What version Android do you have?

Each device differs slightly, but try this on Samsung devices:

Press and hold the*Power*button,*Volume Up*button and*Home*key while the device is turned off.

Once the Samsung logo appears, release*only*the*Power Button.

The Android system recovery screen will appear.

Use the*Volume*buttons to highlight*wipe data/factory reset.

Press the*Power*button to select the factory reset option.

If you’re unable to factory reset your device or delete the trojan app, it might be time to get a new one.
