i got an amazon kindle at a pawn shop but it is locked. how do i open it without knowing the pass word?
Already Tried: charged it up and pressed a few buttons.
Hello. Let me know when you are ready.
ready
When does it ask you for the password?
when it is charging
What does it say on the screen?
it also says "move the 5-way down if you forgot your password." what is the 5-way?
The 5-way is the little 'joystick' controller on the right side
ok. now it says to call customer service the get help resetting the device. can you still help me or should i call them?
If you are seeing that password XXXXXX, then the only way to get the Kindle reset is to call Amazon, and have them remove this lock on the device.
Exactly. That's the only way to do it. It's a security measure to prevent access to the kindle in case it is stolen.
