What To Do If You Forgot Your Kindle Password
If you’ve set a local password to lock your Kindle but have forgotten what it is, unfortunately the news may not be all that good.
Unfortunately, Amazon does not allow e-reader users to reset this access password – neither offline nor online.
Thus, you will need to reset your Kindle to factory settings to be able to use it again. The process will remove your books and all other information that was stored on the device.
However, as all information downloaded to the device from Amazon is usually synchronized with the company’s cloud, it is quite possible that when you enter your account data, all this data will be restored.
You may need to set your reading settings again, customizing the layout to your liking yet again.
Also, files uploaded via computer or synced outside of Amazon’s process may not be uploaded again; requiring you to repeat the process manually.
Anyway, carrying out the restore process is quite simple – you will only need to enter a code! Check out the instructions below:
Turn on the Kindle. You will be asked for the access code; In the password field, enter the code: 111222777
If you have a 4th or 5th generation Kindle, enter “resetmykindle”.
Upon entering the code, the Kindle will automatically start the restore process. From that moment on, the only thing you will need is patience to wait until the process is completed.
Once the process is complete, follow the steps described on the screen to log in with your Amazon account again. The procedure should be very similar to what you did when you first set up your Kindle.
Now, wait until all content is synced to Kindle again. Depending on how many items you have in your library, the process may take a while. Be patient!
