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.

4. Press Next Page to go to Page 2 of Settings.

5. Use the 5-way to underline "turn on" next to the "Device Password" setting and

press to select.

6. Type in the password you want. The maximum password length is twelve

characters.

7. Navigate down using the 5-way and type in your password again to confirm.

8. Navigate down using the 5-way and type in a hint. This hint can be displayed on

the password entry screen to help you remember your password.
