Change SSH password

[cclloyd]

I can't figure out how to change the OpenSSH password from Windows, and the help with root password on Cydia was no help.

 

[kalex]

install openssh from cydia.

download putty from windows computer. Run putty

get ip of your iphone.

launch putty and type:

ssh root@ipofiphone press enter
alpine - press enter
at the prompt type: passwd
type new password and confirm it

all done. u can now remove openssh or uninstall it

just don't forget new password

But when I open putty, it has a window with a bunch of options. I don't know how to open the terminal in it to run the commands.

There's a guide on how to do this on Cydia's HOMEPAGE, I believe.

And if you read the first post you would see that I read that and it didn't help me...

Sounds like you just need to become more familiar with the SSH clients out there be it Putty or WinSCP, or whatever. I actually us an SSH client right on my phone called iSSH. It's a paid App Store app but it makes life very easy. You'll figure it out, it's pretty simple once you've done it once.

From command line

ssh root@YOURIPADDRESSHERE

Enter password: alpine

Type "passwd"

Enter your new password for root.

Type "passwd mobile"

Enter new password for mobile.

You're done.
