Wipe Data through Recovery Mode
The first one is to wipe everything using the Recovery Mode on your phone or tablet. When you use this method, you need to be aware that everything on your device will be erased. So, you need to create a backup of your files. After that, you may move on to wipe data via recovery mode.

Another method you may try is to revert your device to the previous Android version. To do this, you will need to access Developer options on your device. Also, you need to download and install SDK (Software Development Kit) Platform tools and Factory Image files on your computer.
