Kindle Parental Control: Forgot Password - What to Do?

Parental controls for the Kindle are a fine thing - provided you don't forget the tablet password. In this practical tip, we will tell you what you can do in the case of password amnesia.

Forgot your parental controls password - you can do that

With parental controls or Kindle Freetime, you can control precisely what your children should and shouldn't have access to. Since the Kindle Fire password should have a protective function accordingly, it would of course be disadvantageous if your children could just handle it that way. Hence the bad news for you at the moment: there is no way to simply bypass the password. Of course, that doesn't mean you can't do anything. Unfortunately, the action involves a bit of work. The Kindle must be completely reset:

1. First select the "Device options" under "Settings".
2. Then decide on the option "Reset to factory settings" and finally confirm your decision.
3. Now that all the settings you have made have of course been reset and everything else has been deleted, you will need to set up your Kindle again.
4. However, the purchases you have already made on Amazon, such as books, are stored in your cloud so that you can easily download them again.
