Hi,
I recently changed the /etc/passwd file so that the new default shell is /bin/bash. After doing this, I am unable to logon to my kindle via ssh due to authentication failure. I tried Resetting to factory defaults and reinstalled everything but is still doesn't work. The ;un password <password> is not working. Anyone know how to fix this.
