Question

My Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 Is locked because of too many pattern attempts. How to enable WiFi to add my Google Account to unlock my tablet?

Answer 1

Please turn off the device then press Volume Up + Power Button. Keep these pressed until the Android logo appears. Use Volume Up/Down to select Wipe Data/Factory reset then reboot the device.

This is the way to do it because you can't enable WiFi or add a Google account if the tablet has been locked.
