So I recently JBed and installed XBMC on my 2nd Gen AppleTV.

Installed XBMC using the "Brainless" method, used "NitoTV Installer". Now I can't SSH into my AppleTV to do other stuff.

So I'm guessing NitoTV Installer is the culprit.

How can I fix this?

password is alpine

also make sure you're doing "ssh root@##.##.##.##"
lower case r - only say this because you said "Root password"
and if you don't do the "root@" you're trying to use your user login on your computer

otherwise it's re-jailbreaking.

Thanks, I've tried all that.

Time to restore I guess.

Anybody else wanna chime in?

Before I restore and re-jailbreak let me rephrase. I don't think its a password issue.

Here's what I get when enter ssh root@xx.xx.xx.xx on my terminal.

Bernard-Manansalas-MacBook-Pro:~ Bernard$ ssh root@xx.xx.xx.xx

Did you recently install a new system? If so, that may be the cause. Try deleting the known hosts and try again.

that just means that you have ssh'ed into something with that address before, and it had a different fingerprint, i'm pretty sure even re-jailbreaking will cause that to pop up as it resets the system fingerprint on the aTV.

i know reinstalling linux on my server box will cause that to pop up.

if you know a terminal text editor you can use that, and just remove the offending line.
or just type the following command into terminal

Code:
sudo rm ~/.ssh/known_hosts
you'll have to type in your user password after you do that.
