This is quite simple. If you did a jailbreak on your iPhone you need to change the default password. Why? Because hackers can access your phone, read your mail, sms, download other<\/a> data. The second reason is because there are already several viruses (worms) that use these default passwords.<\/p>\n

Here’s a quick step-by-step tutorial<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. If you don’t have MobileTerminal application<\/a> installed: run Cydia, search for MobileTerminal and install.<\/li>\n
  2. Run MobileTerminal.<\/li>\n
  3. Type passwd<\/strong> and press return.<\/li>\n
  4. Enter the default user password alpine<\/strong> and press return.<\/li>\n
  5. Enter a new password and press return.<\/li>\n
  6. Enter a new password again and press return.<\/li>\n
  7. Congratulations, you changed it for default mobile user. Let’s do the same for root user.<\/li>\n
  8. Login as root user: type su root<\/strong> and press return.<\/li>\n
  9. Type passwd<\/strong> and press return.<\/li>\n
  10. Enter the default root user password alpine<\/strong> and press return.<\/li>\n
