crazy password problem

Hey guys, I have been trying to ssh into my Kindle (3.1), but am stumped by the demand for a password.

I tried the ssh key idea, but it too seems to fail.

This is what I get in my terminal:



@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@
@ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!
Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!
It is also possible that the RSA host key has just been changed.
The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host is
4e:30:f8:bf:3e:92:b6:ad:18:21:b3:47:95:9e:02:30.
Please contact your system administrator.
Add correct host key in /root/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.
Offending key in /root/.ssh/known_hosts:1
RSA host key for 192.168.2.2 has changed and you have requested strict checking.
Host key verification failed.

What is going on here?

Actually, I started the whole root my Kindle thing when my kindle decided to refuse to log on to a previously no problem wifi network. It shows the networks in the wifi scan, but refuses to log in. I figured it would be good to root the device and do the whole ~usbNetwork thing. So far so good, as I can certainly turn the ~usbNetwork on, and it seems to work. My computer (am running Ubuntu 10.04) recognizes it immediately.

However, when I try to ssh into it, it demands a password, and nothing works. Leaving it blank does not work.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Matthew
