Remove/set device passcode?
I am looking for a way to disable/enable the device passcode (the numeric code that I can set in the user interface and that must be entered when the Kindle PW2 wakes up). Preferably via the command line on the Kindle.
P.S.: It would be okay if the disabling is only possible after the device woke up and I entered the passcode already. |

I'm still interested in being able to remove the passcode. Does anybody have any clues where this data is stored? What does he want to do with that, you ask? Well, I was fancying a kind of timeout, where the Kindle would not ask me again for the passcode unless it was turned off for X minutes. |

i don't really expect anyone to help because, i imagine people would not want to really help bypass something that is used to secure your kindle from other people.
if it gets bypassed, people would want a further lock, that is not bypassable, right? then it might go on and on... etc or maybe people will help and just have not yet |

Still, I'd maintain that an extension able to disable the passcode is no additional harm.
Anyway, to remove the passcode just delete /var/local/system/userpasswdenabled To re-enable the passcode, "touch /var/local/system/userpasswdenabled" (probably should only be done if a passcode was previously set). |
