Assuming you are talking about your lock screen password, and not your Google account password, the easiest way is to perform a factory reset. This will wipe all of the data and apps from your tablet, anything stored on the external SD card or in the cloud will remain intact.

  1. Completely power off the tablet
  2. press and hold the power, volume up, and home keys until you see the samsung logo.
  3. use volume up/down to scroll and power to select options
  4. scroll to and select wipe data/factory reset
  5. select yes to any further prompts
  6. reboot phone
If the above method doesn't work to get into recovery mode, more information can be found on the attached link.

What do I do if i got get my password o my tablet?

There are two ways to unlock your Tablet so that you can gain access to your Tablet. The first way you can unlock the device will be to enter your pattern/password that you placed on the Tablet. The second option will be for you to enter your Gmail information so that you can gain access to your Tablet without losing all of your information.
If you have forgotten your password you will still be able to gain access to your device by using your Gmail information to log in after you have entered your password wrong multiple times. If you have forgotten your Gmail information you could visit Gmail in order for you to get your log in information for your account.

Forgotten Password

If your notes are on the SD card then take out the SD card and perform a 'Factory Reset' on the tablet. This will loose all saved data on the device so be careful. Replase the SD card and re download all your apps. The data on the SD card will not be effected.
