I wonder if my kids found something similar to this on their Kindle Fire Kid edition. I have parental controls enabled but sometimes the tablet is still running after the predefined cut off time. I remember seeing one time that the PIN entry was popped up with a really long string of numbers in it. They are very very young and wouldn't be able to Google something like this so it was trial and error if they found it.

Did you read the article? They'd need to type somewhere in the region of 160,000 characters to get past the lock screen. If you're not intending to do so (via copying and pasting repeatedly), it seems unlikely you'd manage.
That's a good thing. It means your kids are natural hackers. :-)
I'm totally OK with this too! :D
