I get "Welcome to kindle!" message but i don't find the root password: i tried "mario" and the two generated by https://www.sven.de/kindle/ but nothing!
I also tried empty password with no luck

My firmware is 5.7.4
How to find password for ssh via wifi?
Can i set it by the root shell via usb?

EDIT:
YES! i can change it with passwd
AND IT WILL BE OVERWRITTEN BY THE NEXT UPDATE!

As posted above, set-up public key auth - that is done in user storage so that it will not disappear with Amazon updates.

Also, the WiFi environment is too hostile to rely on a simple password, use pub key auth.
