Newbie problem: Thanks all the great posts and help - almost there just a (hopefully small) glitch: kindle pw2: 5.4.2.1 firmware:

SSH password not working (3 defaults are mario fionaxxx and fionaxxxx don't work)

Steps:
have jailbroken kindle pw2 and successfully installed USBnet & KUAL, kindlets etc work including kterm. However kindle came already registered as a present... I have not intentionally changed the password but i idid mistakenly enter ";un password" once into the search bar.

My current problem is I can't get any of the 3 default passwords to work nor does the framework mario combo work when using usbnet: I get welcome to kindle and password prompt: I am using linux.

As I had kterm working I tried changing root passwd: no go as readonly, then copied both shadow and passwd to extensions folder (used cp not cat) and tried to use john the ripper on them - no hash detected error...

Any help would be great!!!

One other problem: after installing duokan 2014 (which does install / run on kpw - although there is not much head room on a partition (installs 50 MB into a partition with 57 MB free?). I can no longer install updates (kindle update button remains grey after I install an update*.bin file into the user directory... (I tried restarting kindle but note it now boots into duokan by default)
