Yeah, I was late for my drink, my vision was blurry and my brain half-melted: you can't uninstall
system app with adb. I stay corrected.
But the rest of the post stays intact: under Ermine you have to root and you don't need a password. (that's from un-melted half).
But I have another proposition for you: if you hate those apps so much (EsiHelp ?, really) you can delete them from update.zip even before issuing three-finger salute - no root, no password, no need in adb or Android SDK for that matter.
