Help! I'm stuck on my tablet's lockscreen and nothing I do seems to work.

[Android Central Question]

Every time I tap the screen it turns up the volume by 1 bar, I am also stuck on the lock screen and cannot get into my tablet to go to the settings. Even if it was unlocked it would still simply change the volume if I tapped the screen!

Welcome to Android Central! Which tablet? Is it asking you for the PIN, pattern, or password?
