How to Factory Reset a Cherry Mobile Fushion Bolt: "too many pattern attempts"

      
Yesterday, my sister came to me asking for help with her Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt.  Her youngest child played with it and who knows what the cute little girl did but the Google Account was locked out due to “too many pattern attempts”, it says to log on to Google recovery page to address the issue.  Unfortunately, it was my Google account.   Well, I went to my Google account using my laptop and ended up with changing my account password but still stocked with the same problem.  I have quiet a few tablets and phones associated with my Google account so I had to update all of them with the new password.   What a mess!

Weeks ago , I had a problem with my Motorola phone when it did not boot and did not take a charge, nor was able to be detected by my desktop.  It was completely dead!!  By doing some research, I was able to do a hard reset and fixed the issue.  Then I thought, maybe it would work on this tablet too.   

And it did!!!

So how did I do it?  See instructions below:

1.      Long press the “Power” + “ Volume-Down” buttons until it shuts down, continue pressing them until the android logo comes up.

2.      When the android logo comes up, stop pressing the “Power” + “ Volume-Down” buttons. Now long press the “home” button, then release.

(Scroll up and down using the Volume buttons and use the Power button to select.)

3.     Select the “wipe/factory reset".  

Sorry, the pictures aren't so clear.

4.      Wait until it says it has completed the reset.

5.      Scroll up and select reboot.

6.      The tablet will now reboot to it's factory settings and you’re done!

I tried uploading a video but it's taking forever to complete the upload.    I hope this can help and tell me if it did.  Leave your comments down below.
