On my kindle 3G and kindle 3 Wi-Fi (with version 3.3 firmware), the root password only works with 3 characters after fiona. I tried 4, but that does not work.

My DX and DXG do not have Wi-Fi, and with it turned off in usbnet/etc/config, they accept any password (or none) over USB.
...
I just changed my DXG usbnet config to "WiFi = True" and rebooted. The DX and DXG are running 2.5.8 firmware. In my case, I cannot login to my DXG with SSH, using either 3 or 4 digits after fiona. The password provided by KDT does not work in this case for root login.

Hmm...
