Hardly any android device has one of those

On all android devices you can hold in the power button for around 10-20 seconds to power off. Only tablets I have seen to have an external reset button are those of the very cheap variety where the system tends to freeze a lot and then you had to hold in the external reset button to restart it(not even the power button would work)

Some tablets differ on how to access bootloader. On mine its

from tablet being turned off

Hold Volume Down whilst keeping hold press and hold Power button. Hold for around 5 seconds or so and let go of power button. This process differs from device to device... like Gpick said earlier...try the different combinations.

edit- On one tablet I had to hold in both up and down and power to access bootloader/recovery... if none of the others work. Sometimes you have to hold longer than 5 seconds.
