how do you hard reset tablets?

HELP! I can't access the PC Settings on metro for my new Toshiba Encore Mini.

It was trying to update when I first got it today, and all of a sudden I unplugged it accidentally and turned itself off. Now it wont load PC settings. I can access desktop, but the metro only shows IE, Store, File Explorer, One Drive and Desktop.

Going to PC settings just puts me back to metro apps. Now I am trying to find a way to rest it all the way, I tried holding on/off and volume UP (common thing for tablets and phones) but nothing.

The primary way to reset it is no longer accessible because of whatever happened.

How to boot into Advanced Boot Options in Windows 8 | Next of Windows
I would try the latter two options and try to access Advanced Startup, you should get recovery options there.

Thank you, the 3rd option worked.
