If this doesn't work, you can try a "Factory Reset". It may erase some data though. This can be done by locating the pinhole on the phone. Use something small (but not sharp, as you don't want to damage it) to depress the button in the hole. This should restart the tablet and get you past that issue.

The last option is to do a "Hard Reset".

NOTE: Doing this will clear the data on your tablet, so it is suggested you not choose this option unless you have to, or aren't worried about losing anything on the device.
