The following script works on my kindle 3w and 3g for root password, (and on my DX and DXG):
---
#!/bin/bash
serno=$1
echo kindle root passwd:
echo fiona$(echo $serno | md5sum | cut -b 8-10)
---
It adds 3 hex digits to fiona password. The Sir Alex's KDT adds 4 hex digits, which do not work as a root password for my kindles. You can convert the 4 hex digits to 3 hex digits by removing the last digit from what KDT reports.
Although the 3 hex digit fiona password works on my kindles for both SSH and for the "login" command (and matches what "John the Ripper" finds when I crack my passwd/shadow files), I do not know whether I will need the 3 or 4 hex digit fiona password for serial port diagnostic root access).
