Hello - I'm new to this forum.

I just got the Paperwhite on FW 5.3.1 and so went about JB / USBnet / Screensaver hack, etc. Then realized I wanted to upgrade the firmware so I upgraded to 5.3.6. Went back and re-installed the Certificates and the Rescue Pack. USBnet then wasn't working so I reinstalled it also.

Now - here is the trouble I'm having and I'm hoping someone can help me. Pardon me if this is already on the forum somewhere, I can't find it.

I have set my own root password. When I enable usbNetworking using ;un - I can ssh to the kindle but can't log in with my password (Access denied).

If I create the ENABLE_DIAGS file and reboot, then enable USBNetworking form there, I can ssh and log in just fine.

So..... what's happening here. Are there two different root accounts? Am I missing something?

Please help and thank you ahead of time!
