Hi Everyone,-

After having successfully converted a few demo PW1 to proper e-readers, I have run into one that I can't login to.

So, my questions are:
1. Has anything changed lately in terms of "discovering" the root password?
2. How long should the serial number be (that is entered into the "generator")?
3. Is an N at the end necessary? http://www.xodustech.com/guides/kind...te-demo-unlock

I used the 16 digit S/N shown by the Kindle when booting (did copy/paste, no typing).
https://www.sven.de/kindle/
It comes up with two 7/8-digit password of which the first 5 is fiona.
But none of them work...

I tried the framework/mario username-password combo and it does not work either...

Any pointers/advice/hints would be appreciated...

Thanks.
