I cant use KindleTool as it requires me to update my Mac and my internet is very slow at the moment.
Could someone give me (or link me to) a quick tutorial on how to find the kindle root password on version 4.1.3?

You can use
kterm on your Kindle to change the root password from whatever it was to your own.
Note that the Kindle password tools AND
KindleTool all won't help (AFAIK) because the root password that they recover is the one for
diags, not the one for the main system, because the root account on the main system is locked. (
