I changed the password on my Kindle PaperWhite4 my senior year of high school. I am now in college and want to use the Kindle, but because I have not used it for a long time, I have forgotten the password.

The official method is to factory reset it. But then I'll lose all the files on the Kindle, which contains many memories of my six years of high school.

So how can I hack my Kindle PaperWhite4 or retrieve the password if I don't want to format the device?

The answer I found and also AFAIK is you can't. This is not a straight Android device so those ideas are desd.
As to the files, we only lose what we don't backup. Our Kindles get their files from the Amazon cloud so when we reset, we don't lose any files because they are on the Amazon cloud.
