what?
did u do everything correctly to sign in because after u initiate a connection it has a # then u type passwd and it will ask what u want to change it to

 

[gardnerv]

It does everything up until the type passwd part.

what client are u using and are u on a mac or pc
also are u typing passwd this way?

I am using a PC running windows. Also, i am using putty. I am typing passwd like this

passwd.

Am i suposed to be SSH'ing? am i suposed to have somthing installed on the ipod?

 

[Charliekid21]

Install the BSD Subsystem (found in Installler.app) and try the passwd command again.
