iPhone "Alpine" Password doesn't work!

[spiceykim]

So I am trying to SSH into my phone to change my password but apparently I can't even get into it I tried using the default alpine but it says the password is incorrect....what the heck is going on????

Then someone already changed it, via SSH. There is a was to reset it on the iPhone. Looking into it now.

I was coming onto the boards to ask the same question. 3GS Spirit Jb recently and I went into terminal to change defaults but I can't login to either root or mobile... Any suggestions people?

 

[Bakakage]

Try using a lowercase a.

If you've tried every version of "alpine" you can think of try this: http://www.persian-forums.com/f102/how-reset-your-ssh-password-54415/

 

[ivandr]

Double checked caps... No go

 

[spiceykim]

I typed it just like this alpine and it wont work....this is making me mad.

 

[fsck-y dingo]

Are you using "root" (without quotes) for the username?

 

[spiceykim]

Yes!

I also went to that site downloard the ifile and changed what it told me too i went to log in again and nope it wont let me. I am using PuTTy to log in also don't know if that changes things. I don't know how to manually dl the mobileterminal app.

I'm having the same issue on an iphone4. Anybody figure this out yet?

I figured it out. After you type 'su' (without the apostrophes) is asks you to enter something. Enter 'alpine' (it looks like it's not typing anything but it is) and hit return.

Then pick up at Step 5 for these instructions.

Restore your phone in DFU mode.

 

[spiceykim]

A restore is not an option for me.

 

[Intell]

My guess is that you are doing something wrong then. Either with your iPhone or PuTTY.

 

[spiceykim]

I tried winscp too and same thing happens

 

[Bakakage]

Uh, you have openssh installed right?

Just follow my instructions. I was having the same issue. It's because you're entering it wrong b/c you can't see it and you think it's not working but it is.

Yes I have it installed

Try installing Rock om iPhone. It may prompt you to change your password in iPhone. Normally is only asks when it detects the password is still 'alpine' but it is worth a shot.

Everyone, you're helping someone who probably stole an iPhone.

 

[Blorzoga]

I hope your phone is bricked

 

[alectheking]

I have rock already

Then you probably changed it to something and didn't realize. It's the first thing Rock does upon installing is ask you to change it.

The password is Applejuiced

Try your iTunes password. The one you use to install apps and such.
