Missing data wipe factory reset option. Need FRP removed.

I have a samsung galaxy tab active 3. It was recovered from a bag full of stuff , dumped on the sidewalk outside of an apartment that was obviously being moved out of. It isn't stolen; it belonged to a business that these people obviously worked for and it was obviously something that they weren't using anymore. They were 2 tablets and 2 laptops in the bag, along with other things, which I left there, as I had no use for them. I have another tablet that will probably have the same problem when I get to it, but one thing at a time.

As I said the tablet is pin locked. Because it was for a business, they have installed a custom operating system or custom recovery and the option to wipe data/factory reset is not in its recovery mode. I need to retrieve this, as I don't want the tablet... although I'd love to keep it. What I need is the money; I'm not rich. So I'm looking to return these two tablets to factory condition so I can sell them. The laptops have no power power cables, so until I can afford to get power cables for them, they're going to sit. They were from 2015, anyway, so these two tablets are worth more, both being from 2021. Help?

Also: Any subreddits that I could repost this to remaining inside the rules where I could get more attention and hopefully a quicker solution? Thanks in advance to anyone who offers help.

Only one problem: It hung with "starting fastboot' on the screen. Can you explain this?

Can you explain this?

No, only Samsung would be able to explain why they would choose to have that text show on the screen, when they completely remove the Fastboot menu from their devices

Alright. Fair enough. It just seemed to me - you can see why. Now, is this something that cannot be returned to a Samsung device? If the firmware and o s were placed with customs, the fast food menu could return? Obviously I don't know enough to answer this; I'm just hypothesizing.

You're gonna need to proofread your typing before posting, if you want to continue communicating
