Forgotten password, tried hard reset but not working

My son forgot his password. I tried the reset button, nothing happened. I also tried the hard reset and all I get is a green Android with a red triangle in it. When I press the up or down buttons it opens a screen to wipe system clean i press the home button but it does nothing. Please help!!! What should I do next?

when you get to system clean try pressing the power button instead of the home button

Honestly it's a PITA to unbrick these kinds of tablets due to lack of firmware support from Acer.

You will be lucky if you can find matching firmware to flash and boot successfully on there.

Here are some links to firmwares you can try. I think they are mostly flashed via SD card in recovery mode:
