Seems like there should be a way other than Resetting the device (although maybe that's what Amazon provided with the 111222777 password).

But, just for completeness and for community benefit can you share the name of the file and provide the commands? I'm not a Linux expert so I don't want to futz up the files by typing or deleting the wrong thing.
Can you just contact Amazon and ask how to disable the parental controls?
