Please help!! I am giving my Tab to my daughter to use and wanted to clear some data so I did a hard reset. when it rebooted it has come back with a screen with a diagram and what appears to be german instructions telling me to insert a sim card. I have turned on and off and redone the factory reset - to no avail. Please help!!

Why did you do a hard reset? Factory reset would have returned it to stock. Where did you get the tab from? Try holding power volume up and home button for 6-7 seconds to get into recovery and the do a resest from there. If that button combo does not work try power and volume up for 6-7 seconds

Thankyou so much!! I put a sim card in and clicked my way through a lot of screens which I didn't understand and finally came to the Home screen where I was able to use the menu to set the language back to English.
