I already went there.The problem is,when I tap 'more' the settings don't come up,the box asking for the password does.I can't seem to get past that.
Forgot Your Password? Reset Your Kindle Fire!
Unfortunately, if you've forgotten your lock screen password there's only ONE way to get back into your tablet: your have to reset your Kindle Fire.
Yep, it's harsh, but Amazon's given us no other way (that I know about) to retrieve a forgotten password.
So here's what you do. Try to enter a four digit pin at least five times. Each time you enter the wrong password, it will say, "Please try again".
On the fifth incorrect attempt the following warning will come up:
Kindle Fire Reset Warning
Mini Exclamation Poin
Again, this is an important warning since doing a Kindle Fire reset to factory defaults will completely wipe out all your data! (That's why it's SO important to choose a password you'll easily remember, as explained in my article on Kindle Fire passwords.)
If you suddenly remember your password, you'll have to patiently (or not so patiently) wait until the "Wait" button finishes counting down and changes to the "Try Again" button.
If you're SURE that:
• you can't remember your password
•you didn't write it down anywhere, and
•no one else knows it to be able to remind you what it is
Then go ahead and tap "Reset".
Congratulations! You Kindle Fire has now been reset to factory defaults!
