Password Protecting Your Kindle
To prevent others from using your Kindle or seeing your content, you can create a password that
must be entered whenever your Kindle starts or wakes from sleep. If your Kindle is sleeping when
you attach it to a computer using the USB cable, you will also be prompted
to enter your password before you can mount your Kindle on your computer.
If you forget your password, try looking at the password hint you entered when you created your
password. If you still don’t remember your password, you must call Kindle Customer Service for help
with resetting your device. Keep in mind that when you reset your device, you will lose any personal
documents, periodicals older than the past seven issues, MP3 files, and Audible files that you have
not backed up.
