Please supply information which Kindle model you are talking about.

UPDATE: Just figured out from your user info that you're probably talking about Kindle Touch. You can use the information from https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kind...ing#Unbricking. Create a RUNME.sh which overwrites /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow. For convenience, here is the content of those files on my device:
Code:
[root@kindle root]# cat /etc/passwd 
root:x:0:0:root:/tmp/root:/bin/sh
daemon:x:1:1:daemon:/usr/sbin:/bin/sh
bin:x:2:2:bin:/bin:/bin/sh
sys:x:3:3:sys:/dev:/bin/sh
sync:x:4:100:sync:/bin:/bin/sync
operator:x:37:37:Operator:/var:/bin/sh
sshd:x:103:99:Operator:/var:/bin/sh
messagebus:x:92:92:messagebus:/bin/false
nobody:x:99:99:nobody:/tmp:/bin/sh
default:x:1000:1000:Default non-root user:/dev/null:/bin/sh
framework:x:9000:150:Framework User:/tmp/framework:/bin/sh
[root@kindle root]# cat /etc/shadow
root:$1$YoJvctxx$3HQY0NvBINFwIqVPB6Z371:15332:0:99999:7:::
daemon:*:10933:0:99999:7:::
bin:*:10933:0:99999:7:::
sys:*:10933:0:99999:7:::
sync:*:10933:0:99999:7:::
operator:*:10933:0:99999:7:::
sshd:*:10933:0:99999:7:::
messagebus:*:10933:0:99999:7:::
nobody:*:10933:0:99999:7:::
default::10933:0:99999:7:::
framework:$1$Cewr2/zS$SnxBS8yTMZeIgf/Tk//Xo/:14033:0:99999:7:::
The root password is "touch".
