Google "How to factory reset your Amazon Fire" to see if you can reset it.
You'll need an Amazon account or it's not very useful.
I recently picked up an Amazon Fire tablet very cheaply. The people I got it from did not know if it even worked as they did not have a charger for it. I plugged it in with one of my cables and it powers on just fine. The problem with it is that the tablet is password protected and the previous owner has no idea what the password could be as it belonged to a now deceased relative of theirs.
Is there any way to reset it and create a new password so that the tablet can be used? Is it just trash since we will never know what the original password was?
I look forward to responses
Thank you
