How to change iphone default ssh password
When an iPhone is jailbroken, and OpenSSH server is installed in order to provide remote access.
There are two accounts root -the superuser- and mobile -the standard user-.
Both accounts have a default password: alpine
In order to change the passwords you can do it via regular Linux commands:
- Access the iPhone via ssh from your PC (you can install putty on windows to do this)
- ssh root@your.iphone.ip
- Note: If this is the first time you connect this PC to your iPhone you will see a warning abiout fingerprints, say yes.
- and type the passwd command, it will prompt you for your password twice, when you type your new password nothing will be prompted:
- passwd
- type exit to dissconnect
- exit
- Repeat the steps but this time for mobile, start with:
- ssh mobile@your.iphone.ip
