I have no idea what ssh-copy-id is, and when ssh keys have been set up no password is involved. The account does not even need a password. (Not having a password is not the same as an empty password.)

I have 5 jailbroken kindles and have never needed to know a root password.

For USBNetworking, the keys go in the userstore , not in root's home .ssh directory. It's all documented in the USBNetworking package.
