Exclamation vers. 4.1.2 not linked to any account can't access as drive from windows

Hi, I got a second hand Kindle 4 . The software version is the 4.1.2 . when i plug the usb to the pc i can't access the kindle as a drive (so i can't manual update it). I cant register a new account or link to an existing one . there is way i can access the kindle as a drive or update the firmware just enough ? thanks for your help. Sorry for the bad english.
Thanks

If you are having trouble registering your Kindle, read the following post that worked for me trying to register a Kindle Touch.
