Short of restoring and rejailbreaking, I can't think of any way to change it once you've forgotten.

Tie it down, shine a bright light on it, then occasionally hit it with a hammer until it confesses the password.

Or just do a restore as new, then rejailbreak it.

LOLxx... I had checked if I just do a restore as new... i will hv pro Jailbreak..cos the new jailbreak version of 4.3.5 hv pro... once u install, u ned a comp to respring it if nt whatever u install frm cydia or installous will be gone. In additonal u cant let ur iph run out of batt.. or else u also ned a comp to start the iph.

I can't imagine they can do anything. You lose the root password, you lose the root password. There is no greater user in the OS who that reset the password or something.

Typing in English is another handy trick that often gets you more help.

I can't be the only one who took one look at the teenager typing style and walked away.

I still don't know what you are saying.

Restore might help otherwise wipe and set up as new

Not to be rude, but at least make the effort to type in proper English - I'm a teenager and even I find that annoying!!
