Hi there, I just connected to the serial interface of my Kindle KT2 and I'm able to see the diag login prompt, but the password i got with the python script doesn't allow me to login as root.

Code:

Welcome to Kindle!

Login incorrect

I also tried the two passwords that kindletool generated with my serial number (one is the same as the one generated by the python script), but they aren't working.. May I get some help? Thanks and sorry for my english.
