So i could create the output in a file and overwrite it with my values. Just spinning this around. But i would prefere a login as root. Do someone else had this issue?

Well, only after installing an Amazon update image, which includes a fresh copy of /etc/passwd file (you know, the one that used to have your changes in it).
1) Kindles are dual system boot devices, the 'main' system has not allowed root logins forever.
2) Those sites that get a password from the serial number are getting the password
for the other (diags) system.
3) Use USBnetworking, without any changes to the options, login over USB cable.
telnet never requires a password.
4) Then setup public key authorization (per directions in the README file).
You don't need system access to do that, our build of dropbear (the default sshd server) does not look in the system files -
Follow the path from the highest visible level of USB storage /usbnet/etc/authorized_keys
Which probably does not exist - just rename your public key to 'authorized_keys' - which makes it the first entry.

After the second such in one day from the same person, people here (including myself) start to change our helpful attitude.
