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.
To create a password for your Kindle, follow these steps:
1. If you are not already on the Home screen, press the Home button.
2. Press the Menu button.
3. Use the 5-way to underline "Settings" and press to select.
