PLEASE HELP - How to Hard Reset MSI Primo 81 OR RECOVERY

Hi everyone, I have a problem that I am hoping someone on this forum can help me with. I searched all over this website and through internet searches and can't find the information I need.
I need to find out how to do a Hard Reset on an MSI Primo 81 Android 4.4 Tablet?
We just got this device and we set it up with an administrator account with a PIN number and then a second user account with no PIN or Code.
We have not set it up with a Google account yet.
My son was in the administrator account and changed the pin and now can't remember what the new pin is. We have tried everything we can think of. He had saw me put my administrator pin in by looking over my shoulder which is how he was able to change it.
Since the tablet is brand new and has no Google account yet we have no other choice but to do a hard reset. This isn't a problem because we haven't installed anything yet.
If anyone knows ho to do a hard reset on this MSI Primo 81 your help will be greatly appreciated.
I don't know if maybe it can be put into recovery mode. I can't figure out how to do that either. If anyone knows how to get this tablet into the Android recovery mode I would appreciate any help with this as well.
Someone please help us!
Thanks in Advance.

The reset of Primo 81 would be long pressing the power key for over 8 secs, but it won't enter the Android recovery mode.
The better way to solve your problem now is to re-flash the firmware.

  • How to hard reset MSI Primo 73?

    Have this MSI Primo 73 for a week now. With only one paid app, Sound Report Writer. Using the stock launcher and updated it with the new firmware from the official MSI website. The tablet crashed on me yesterday. It wont power on now. Will hard resetting it help? Is so, how?
    Also, any other ways for me to power it on? Connecting it to the charger also doesn't work. I don't see the battery icon/ charging icon anymore.
    Thank you very much. Apologies if my post is confusing.

  • How to hard reset MSI windpad enjoy 7 plus?

    The screen bullet password has been locked after several attempts and it requests me to provide email address & password.
    The wifi cannot be on currently, and I have forgotten the password for my email.
    I have tried to hard reset, by pressing power & volume down keys together, but it is only the triangle and exclamation mark come out.
    I upgraded the firmware, it does not resolve.  Worse is that by pressing power & volume down keys together now, nothing has come out.
    What shall I do??

    Hi Stu,
    I have been advised by MSI that for the hard reset shall be:-
    a)  Press the power and volume down button and hold it until the green android icon shown up with the trianggle and an exclaimation mark.
    b)  After it shows up, press volume up button for only one time.
    and I shall be able to go to the setting menu.
    I have not tried it yet.  Will try it tonigh and let you know.

  • Please help, how can i reset my "forget this device" in bluetooth, without my restrictions passcode?

    Hi, i got some new bluetooth headphones which are really good but one time i accidentally pressed "forget this device", and now my ipod cant find the headphones. I did some reading online and i tried to "reset all settings" but i needed my restrictions passcode, which i have forgotten ( well actually i dont remember making one, because i know i would forget it ). Can anyone help me because at the moment i cant use my new headphones ?

    You will not like the answer
    Forgotten RESTRICTIONS Passcode
    - Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and restore via iTunes. For how to restore: iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    You have to either:
    - Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored.
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod

    my ipad2 is asking old id password, when i go to forget password link for that id then I am not getting any mail to reset the same. Please help how can i remove or change the old id.

    You cannot remove or change the old ID. This is Find My iPhone Activation Lock. You need to recover the credentials for the Apple ID originally used to activate the iPad.

    If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode or Just Need to Restore Your Device
      1. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
      2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
      3. iOS- Understanding passcodes
         If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
         below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
         simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
         same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
    A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
    If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
    Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
    Follow these steps to restore your device:
         1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
         2. Connect your device to your computer.
         3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
         4. Select the Summary tab.
         5. Select the Restore option.
         6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
             option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
             necessary to create another.
         7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
             you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
         8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
             logo while starting up:
               After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
              to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
              iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
              you see "iPhone is activated."
         9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
              backup to restore, then restore as New.
    If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code or as a New device, then skip Step 9 and restore as New.

  • Apple technical support *****. Can't even tell me how to hard reset my iPhone. I have to pay $300 to get an answer.

    Can anyone tell me how to hard reset an iPhone? Thanks!

    Apple Technical Support does not **** if you are within warranty or paid for AppleCare. Otherwise, you are expecting something for free when everyone else was required to pay. In my opinion, that would ****.
    Apple's website has plenty of knowledgebase articles that you can access for free. You can try it too. I searched the Internet for iphone reset and here is one of the top hits:

    There are also the forums (i.e., here) where other users are more than willing to volunteer their time to help you solve issues.

    Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are not synced. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are not touched with the iTunes sync process. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer which is not handled by iTunes. Most importing software includes an option to delete the photos/videos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete. If is my understanding that some Windows import software supports importing photos from the Camera Roll, but not videos. Regardless, the import software should not delete the photos/videos from the Camera Roll unless you set the app to do so.
    Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are included with your iPhone's backup. If you synced your iPhone with iTunes before the videos on the Camera Roll went missing and you haven't synced your iPhone with iTunes since they went missing, you can try restoring the iPhone with iTunes from the iPhone's backup. Don't sync the iPhone with iTunes again and decline the prompt to update the iPhone's backup after selecting Restore.

    Hi Buterem,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your MacBook Pro since your recent Yosemite update. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having intermittent but persistent responsiveness issues with your mouse or trackpad, you may want to try using Activity Monitor to see if these incidents correspond to occupied system resources, especially system memory or CPU. You may find the following article helpful:
    How to use Activity Monitor - Apple Support
    If the entire system hangs or locks up (for example, if the system clock freezes and stops counting up), you may also be experiencing some variety of Kernel Panic. If that is the case, you may also find this article useful:
