Password Protecting Your Kindle

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
