If you have an iPhone or iPod touch, chances are it is jailbroken. Since it unlocks and gives you many applications and hacks not provided by apple. Most iPhone/iPod touch Jailbreakers have an app called OpenSSH

This app allows you to send, receive, and edit files on your device. Using an SSH client such as WinSCP

Everyone has 2 accounts in SSH: root and mobile
Both have the same password: alpine

Did you know you can change the password in OpenSSH?
I highly recommend that anyone with OpenSSH change their password.
This will prevent hackers or anyone else accessing your data.

Tools Needed:
OpenSSH (Should be Installed)
Cydia (Needed to install MobileTerminal)
MobileTerminal (This is needed to change the password)

Type only the text in bold

Tutorial:

1. Open up MobileTerminal.

2. Login to root by:
1. Type login
2. Type root
3. Type alpine

You should be logged into the root account.

3. Type in passwd

4. Type in your new password (Must be bigger than 5 characters)

5. Type your new password in again.

6. Repeat steps 3-5 with the mobile account

Now you are more safe with your new password
