[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1661716"] I have a feeling the OP is trying to refer to "Activation Lock," a feature in iOS that (if activated) PREVENTS a factory (or any other kind of) reset. I have no idea if Android has a similar feature -- it wouldn't be universal if they did, but at least some models would probably have it -- but you can read up on Activation Lock here: [url]https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201365[/url] I've also had good luck with "don't bring your expensive tablet to crime-ridden, dodgy places, and don't let it out of your sight in any case" as a best practice. So far (five years), so good. [/QUOTE]
