Hold down the red Power button and the two volume buttons all at the same time for 15 seconds.
Wait 1 minute, then hold the power button down until the red light comes on (3 or 4) seconds.
Unit will restart in about 1 minute.
Then you will have to connect to your laptop, download what you lost.
You can search on this web site to find the full correct procedure to reinstall everything.

Sometimes what happens on playbooks is that there is a "total security wipe", which will wipe all the data on your playbook if you get your passcode wrong enough times. I am not completely familiar with playbooks, but if the above instructions do not work you should call the company.

Also, be sure to read below. You can win gift cards for next to nothing in minutes!
