That worked for someone else to recover their PW here last week.

Might work to un-demo a PW also, probably will.

Even simpler -
Just put the Amazon update image in the root of usb storage, eject, remove cable, re-boot.

It should **just work**.

Note 1: In the first post of the Paperwhite Jailbreak thread you can find a link to an off-site archive of Amazon image releases.
You might want to pick a firmware version that can be jailbroken.

Note 2: The "Demo Units" are very often SO (Special Offers) units - after un-demo'ing you will still have to "buy out" of the SO at the Amazon site (after you register your 'used' device).
