unless you can hack it, or remember it, you won't get your old password back. You can reset it provided you still have access to the email address you have on file with facebook. Simply goto login and look for and click on, "forgot password" (or something like that!) and an email link to reset your password will be sent to you. Open the email and click on that link. Then change your password. Write it down and relogin from each place you use facebook.

i have never ownned a kindel but its a product of amazon. you should always register your hardwasre with your real street address and real name so you can be identified incase someone tried to use your system.

i had a dangerous police groupie / stalker/ pergerer / turnned mail fraud artist who greated an alian "cesilia dori james", try to use my mail box with my neighbors name and i caught him taking mail out of my mail box one day. even though the police did nothing. i wrote the story on an advocat web sight and forced the company to stop calling and admitt they made a big mistake. he is a convicted felon nammed steve benzor.



he has nothing to loose by continuing to try to this day because there are no laws to stop stalkers.



but it\'s no more dangerous to use your real name and address with amazon than it is with kroger or walmart

I am not familiar with the kindle, however your premis, " but if it was then my laptop would not be able to connect to the Internet. ?" is not exactly correct. When your network was set up someone put a password in to protect your network from having unauthorized connections to it. That password is needed by every computer that has a network card. Someone added that password to your laptop, but if I were to come into your house (invited of course) my computer would see your network name, but I would not be able to access it untill you told me your password and I entered it into my network access. What your kindle is telling you is that you must put that password into its network card, and after that it will remember it just like your laptop. Now if you were to take your kindle to McDonalds, it would not need a password and would connect up. This is because McDonalds operates an "OPEN" network that does not have a password and welcomes everybody to connect up. Remember when you use the McDonalds "OPEN" network, your session would be available to any one that wanted to snoop, and could capture what you wrote including paswords to banks, other networks etc.
