Device Password : Allows you to restrict access to your Kindle by setting a password.
You will subsequently be prompted to enter the password whenever you turn on the

entered when you created it. If you still do not remember your password, you must contact
Kindle Customer Service.

Store, and Archived Items. Parents may use this feature to prevent children from
purchasing content without their permission or from browsing any inappropriate online
content. You will be prompted to enter a password when you restrict access to one of
these areas. Note that this password will be required to make changes to settings within

of the screen next to the Wi-Fi status indicator. Deregistration and Reset to Factory
