Amazon Echo & Kindle Help

For some reason I set the parental controls on my kindle while I was fiddling with it, goodness knows why? I now wish to remove it, but cannot remember my password, even with the ‘hint’ that comes up. I am a pensioner with an awful memory, and although I’ve put in every password I can think of, I cannot remove the controls, which I do not need on my kindle. Please could anyone help me? I’m worried that if I ask kindle for a new password – if indeed that is possible – I will lose the 300-odd books I have at present on my kindle.

I’m so excited to have gotten a new Amazon Kindle Fire HD for my teen son, but now I’m afraid that I’ve opened up an unexpected doorway to the Internet since it apparently has full Internet access, a Web browser, an app store, and much more. I just wanted a way to keep up with his voracious reading habits. Is there some way to disable wifi access, games, the app store, etc, on the Kindle through the parental controls??

Since the Kindle makes it easy for kids to go onto the app store and get new games, and since it’s pretty darn easy to go online and visit Web sites too, I like to constrain my children’s use of my Kindle Fire to just when I’m around. But now they’ve figured out my security code. Darn it! How do I change it?

My Mom and I are both devoted fans of our Amazon Kindles and I recently learned that there’s a feature where someone can highlight a passage or even leave a note and then have others see it as they’re reading too? Brilliant. How can my Mom and I share our own notes and highlights as we go through Kindle ebooks simultaneously?

I don’t want my Mom getting onto my Kindle Fire and poking around so I want to set up a password like I have on my cellphone. Can I do that on the Fire HD, and if so, how?
