1) Create a blank file in Notepad titled DO_FACTORY_RESTORE
Remove the .txt extension from the file you created in File Explorer
2) Connect the Kindle to your computer using a USB cable.
3) Copy the file you created into the root directory (don't put into any folder) of your Kindle.
Do a reset of the Kindle by holding down on the power button (20 secs, not the short restart) till the Kindle restarts. It should (fingers crossed) perform a factory reset.
hope this worked. You will of course have to reconnect your kindle to your account and re download all books

This worked beautifully on my my old Kindle 4 (4th generation, S/N 9023...). Very nice!
