I've rooted my Kindle (I think its KT2) and have changed its password after mntroot rw, passwd root, and type in the new password twice.
What seems to happen is that after a few hours, the password becomes invalid and I can no longer SSH in to upload items/make changes. This has happened a couple of times and the past few times I thought it may be down to my failing memory. So I unplug it, enable USBnetwork and connect via telnet to change the password again. But this time round, I use a very familiar password and also wrote it down. 12h later, the password has changed again, disabling login.
My question is why is this happening and what can I do to make sure password changes remain permanent?
