Kindle touch 5.1.0 SSH password

Hi all,
i need an advice regarding SSH to my Kindle touch 5.1.0 firmware. All information at this forum were very usefull, I was able to jailbreak, install SSH and connect to device using putty.

Unfortunately neither mario nor fiona or fionaxxx with numbers works for me to get inside as root. I was able to get into device as framework user with mario password, but I cant change password for root using this account.

I tried passwd root but I get "Must be suid to work properly" message. Im more to windows environment then unix but this seems like framework account does not have sufficient rights.
After that I did cat /etc/shadow and run result through John The Ripper using dictionary attack containing fiona+3 digit number combinations. Unsuccessfuly
I also tried ;un password command via kindle web browser but this seems to have no effect. Am I doing something wrong here? Password should have been empty If I understood instructions correctly

Sorry if I messed something, this is my first post to this forum
