What's up, everyone.
I'm Max Dalton, and in this video I'll show you how to reset your Kindle Fire to its default
factory settings.
I'll also show you how to deregister your Amazon account from your Kindle Fire, in case
you're preparing to sell it or give it to someone else.
The Kindle Fire is a great budget tablet that still offers a good experience and gives you
access to popular services.
If you're having problems with your device and nothing else is working to fix it, a last-step
measure you should try is restoring your Kindle Fire to its default factory settings.
Be aware that this will erase all of the information on your device, and you'll want to make sure
your Kindle Fire is being backed up before you move ahead with a factory reset so you
can restore it from that backup.
Alternatively, if you're looking to sell your Kindle Fire, you'll also want to reset your
device to its default factory settings to ensure all of your personal information is
erased from the device.
Additionally, whether you're selling your Kindle Fire to someone you don't know or giving
it to a friend or family member, you'll also want to make sure and deregister your Amazon
account from the device as well.
I'll walk through how to deregister your account from your Kindle Fire, and how to restore
your Kindle Fire to its default settings in this video.
But before we get into the steps to reset your Kindle Fire's default factory settings,
I wanna let you know that Amazon Renewed gives you great deals on like-new, refurbished products
from popular brands in top categories.
You can find deals from Apple and Samsung for tablets and smartphones, Dewalt and Ryobi
for tools, Microsoft and Sony for gaming equipment, JBL and Ultimate Ears for portable speakers,
and so much more.
I'll put a link to the Amazon Renewed site and my favorite Amazon Renewed categories
in this video's description and pinned comment.
Now let's walk through the steps to restore your Kindle Fire to its default factory settings.
First, if you're preparing to sell your device or give it to someone else, the first thing
you'll want to do is deregister your Kindle Fire from your Amazon account.
Let's quickly walk through the steps to do that.
Step 1.
Navigate to your Kindle Fire home screen, and then tap to launch the "Settings" app.
The Settings screen is displayed.
Step 2.
Scroll down this menu, and then tap "My Account."
The My Account screen is shown.
Step 3.
Find the section at the top of this screen that tells you who this Kindle Fire is registered
to, and then tap "Deregister" in that section.
A Deregister Your Fire window is shown, letting you know that you won't be able to access
anything that was purchased with the account your deregistering.
You won't be able to access email or the calendar associated with that account.
Some data may be removed, and more.
Step 4.
Tap "Deregister" to move forward with deregistering your Amazon account from this Kindle Fire.
Your account will be deregistered.
Now let's walk through the steps to erase all of the information from your Kindle Fire
and restore it to its default factory settings.
Again, be aware that this will erase all of the information on your device, and you'll
want to make sure your Kindle Fire is being backed up before you move ahead with a factory
reset so you can restore it from that backup.
Step 1.
Navigate to your Kindle Fire home screen, and then tap to launch the "Settings" app.
The Settings screen is displayed.
Step 2.
Scroll down this menu, and then tap "Device Options."
The Device Options screen is shown.
Step 3.
Scroll down this menu, and then tap "Reset to Factory Defaults."
A window warning you that resetting your Kindle Fire to its factory default settings will
remove all of your personal information, Amazon account information, downloaded content, and
applications from internal storage.
Step 4.
Tap "Reset" in this window.
Your tablet will reboot and load up to the first screen in the setup process, where you're
prompted to choose what language you want your Kindle Fire to operate in.
