I am using ssh public/private key pair to login. I have regenerated the pairs several times and they work fine in connecting me to the Kindle. The problem is that after reaching the Kindle I cannot log into it. Here is the output using a new ssh key pair to login:

$ ssh-copy-id root@192.168.15.244
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: attempting to log in with the new key(s), to filter out any that are already installed
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: 1 key(s) remain to be installed -- if you are prompted now it is to install the new keys
root@192.168.15.244's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
root@192.168.15.244's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
root@192.168.15.244's password:
root@192.168.15.244: Permission denied (publickey,password).

It seems to me that on the kindle OS, root@192.168,x,x (my WiFi ssh connection) has a different password to root@192.168.15.244 (the USB ssh connection). None of the suggested passwords (mario, fionaxxx etc) work either.
