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. |
No changes in the past several years.
The passwords are for when running the 'diags' system.
The 'main' system does not accept a password (for any user).
You need to be using the KindleTool to generate passwords, the various web pages are not always up to date (that one you linked to has failed for other people also).
The following may help (they are for any 5.x series firmware, not just the K2):

Use the ;dsts command to bring up the settings menu, check the serial number there.
