[Q] Forgotten password on Kindle Fire - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
I have a Kindle Fire that I haven't used in ages, and I can't remember what the password is. It's a simple PIN lock only consisting of numbers. Does anyone know how to recover the password?

Pretty sure you need to factory reset.

I bet that I sound like a moron right now, but is that a how-to-root link?

no, not exactly
custom Recovery and Bootloader, without root
in twrp you should be able to mount SD card to pc
but you will need a fastboot cable.

Root for Build number M919UVUEMK2?

Buddy of mine wants me to root his device if possible.
New to rooting the Samsung devices (HTC guy here). I've rooted the OG Evo, 3vo, Evo 4G LTE, and the One. So I know what I'm doing from that stand point.
My question is, will root for any M919 work for this device or is there a specific root method to use?
Sorry, if this has been answered before - trying to figure out where to head from here.
Thanks guys.

Thanks bud! Much appreciated.
Np. Google search it. It's under the Verizon GS4 threads. I tested it out on my m919 and it works. Also check out Safestrap (3.71) for the recovery.

Will give it a look, awesome.
But, my buddy is being a little puss and wants to know how certain you are this won't brick his device.
I am certain it's safe, but he wants a little extra confirmation as well.
I swear I used this and it worked and it's harmless if it does not work. Look up harmless in the search box for that thread and you'll see the developer responding to my question

Running into a problem. Flashed a Google edition rom, mistakenly on the Stock rom Partition of the device. Phone didn't boot, stupidly forgot to make a nandroid.
Computer can't find the device in ADB and Mount USB storage isn't working in recovery. I can get to stock recovery and push the ROM but it's not accepting the update file.
Any ideas?
You can try flashing the stock odin image that is not rooted.

Have you tried just doing a factory reset and rebooting it?
Here is the link: https://www.copy.com/s/hzfaqBpWhinn/M919UVUEMK2_M919TMBEMK2_TMB.zip
I am not a hundred percent sure that this will keep the knox at 0, and I do not hold responsibility for anything you do to your or anybody else's electronic device.

i understood that if i unlock my bootloader i cant get update from asus, but i checked it now and i got update.
can i download this update or should i download from the internet because it will lock my bootloader?
Unlocking the bootloader does not affect updating, just need to have stock recovery and no root to be safe

Well then you'll have to flash stock recovery and unfreeze all the system apps so it passes the check. Now what I did, since I couldn't find the 97 recovery was flash the 90 recovery and then applied the 97 ota through sd_update, then I applied the 139 update,

Read the thread "change from CN to WW" its on this forum search it, read the thread thoroughly and everything you need is there, and I explained to you in this thread how to unroot, do this last before you update, you should research before you try these things, everything you want to know is already on this forum, there is a guide to help you with virtually all you need.

Recovery mode just loops (ASUS ZE551ML)

Hello, I have a problem with my ASUS Z00AD.
Problem: I want to flash my phone back to a stock ROM but when I enter recovery mode it just restarts the bootloader.
What I think the cause of the problem is: I tried to use TWRP without root. I have already rooted my phone before but unrooted it because of a system update.
My phone works everything fine except this bootloader.
I need help please.
