View password in mobile terminal

**grant.ben08** · 03-20-2011, 08:59 AM

I changed my password in mobile terminal a little while back ago and now I am trying to connect with WinSCP and I can't connect. I was wondering if there is a way to view my password. I know what I changed it to but I would like to look at it to make sure. I aside from the password I can't think of why it isn't connecting.

If I remember correctly, just type in "su root" to obtain permissions. When prompted enter ur root password, u will be denied permission if it's not correct!

if your password does not work in terminal, you will have to reset it using a method that works like this :
if you have a program which already has root access, you should be able to use that privilege to your advantage, because cydia does not require a password to install applications, and modify a file to change it back to alpine

I tried it and it worked. My password is what I thought it was. Thank you for the suggestion.

I couldn't connect last time and I just checked it through terminal and j was using the right password. I can't think of what was wrong. I saved my session from the last time I was connected and all I had to do was put the password. It just wasn't working. I'll try it again and see if I get the same error.

I was finally able to get it to go. The issue was that my computer wasn't seeing my phone and I did a little research on it and somebody mentioned that I you have a lot of things in your camera roll that aren't pictures taken with you camera the computer has a hard time finding. I looked in my camera roll and I had a YouTube video I had moved there with ifile. Upon deleting it and plugging my phone back in, my computer found my phone immediately. Thanks for everyone's help.
