To reset a forgotten PIN on a Lenovo Tab P11 (2nd Gen), you must perform a factory reset via Recovery Mode (https://www.google.com/search?q=Recovery+Mode&rlz=1C1GCEA_enDE1193DE1194&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&mstk=AUtExfDLHgVIU4BFqjBFvkLsyirkWA5nBomWZEHEG2n3P4Wy77aJDnoV_i79FbUikPUL86EXLSkdIizBlmg0MF2BseQfwHbaTBDnH-I3Bxz1SSaZ4BIYE3kctY-rkWLbVgr1SUnz9P5j0SKmBec7LSN9uxNg_vx6bJepj4mevi0KbbWqAH4&csui=3&ved=2ahUKEwjG_ab2oaKTAxXo3wIHHSipArgQgK4QegQIARAC), which erases all data. Turn off the tablet, hold Volume Up + Volume Down + Power simultaneously until the Lenovo logo appears, select "Wipe data/factory reset," and restart.
Steps to Reset Your Lenovo Tablet PIN- Turn off the tablet completely.
- Enter Recovery Mode: Press and hold the Volume Up + Volume Down + Power buttons at the same time.
- Release Buttons: When the Lenovo logo appears, release the Power button, but continue holding Volume Up + Volume Down.
- Navigate the Menu: When the Android recovery screen appears, use the volume buttons to navigate to "Wipe data/factory reset".
- Confirm Selection: Press the Power button to select "Wipe data/factory reset".
- Confirm Factory Reset: Use the volume buttons to select "Factory data reset" or "Yes" and press the Power button to confirm.
- Reboot: After the process is complete, select "Reboot system now".

Important Notes- Data Loss: This process will delete all photos, apps, and personal data, restoring the tablet to its original factory settings.
- Google Account Required: After resetting, you will be required to log in with the same Google Account previously used on the tablet to unlock it, due to Factory Reset Protection (FRP).
- Alternative: If you have set up a PIN/password via a remote management service, you might be able to unlock it using that, but the recovery mode method is the standard solution for a forgotten local screen lock.
