Not as usual ??? as usual to what a Time 2 tablet .

The round button with two rows of dots is the menu .
Suggest a factory reset to out of the box state .

I've tried a reset

If you've reset it with a reset button that'll just be a soft reset, a factory reset restores the device to its state when it left the factory. There are usually ways of doing resets with various button presses but they differ from device to device, and a factory reset would probably only work if you can boot into safe mode or access the settings on your device.

Problem with buying a cheap tablet is that there isn't much info on stuff like this to be found....

If it's like the Hudl (also an Android tablet), you do a factory reset as follows.

Tap the Menu button (the round button with two rows of dots).

Tap Settings.

Tap Backup & reset.

Tap Factory data reset.

Tap the Reset tablet button.

It's not an actual, physical button. It's a circle on the touch screen.
