Change OpenSSH Password?

[Rinnycoop121]

I recently purchased an iPhone 3g on craigslist.

i am trying to get in but the password has been changed,

so i decided to get in using iphonebrowser is there any way to change the ssh password through the iPhone browser.

I have tried using the MobileTerminal method.

but since this is a 3g terminal will start then close

running very slow on 4.0.2 some apps are none responsive.

some i have to open several times for them to start correctly

Mail, Messaging, Safari ect.....

Right now i am disabling Multitasking using the instructions listed in post

iPhone 4.0 Multitasking on iPhone 3G/iPod touch 2G

Please help i would love to try the overclocking method on this phone. but in the instructions given i guess you need the ssh password


1: SSH into your iPhone and goto /private/etc and backup the "fstab" file.
2: Open up fstab in TextEdit (Mac) or Notepad.
3: Add the following lines:
su
alpine (Unless you changed it to something else.)
sysctl -w hw.cpufrequency_max=???000000 (Replace ??? with the MHz Ex: 600)
sysctl -w hw.cpufrequency=???000000 (Same as above)
sysctl -w hw.cpufrequency_min=???000000 (Replace ??? with the MHz you want when the iPhone is sleeping, etc..)

Add those before:
/dev/disk0s1 / hfs rw 0 1
/dev/disk0s2 /private/var hfs rw 0 2

So, in the end, it'll look like this:

su
alpine (Unless you changed it to something else.)
sysctl -w hw.cpufrequency_max=???000000
sysctl -w hw.cpufrequency=???000000
sysctl -w hw.cpufrequency_min=???000000
/dev/disk0s1 / hfs rw 0 1
/dev/disk0s2 /private/var hfs rw 0 2

as you can see from above it says

alpine (Unless you changed it to something else.)

so i do need the ssh password

So please let me know if the ssh password can be changed through iPhoneBrowser.

Thanks

I remember reading somewhere there is an alternative password "dottie". I believe, try it. Might get lucky

Your gna have to restore, that will set it back to "alpine"

I guess that would be the only solution
