Ssh pw

[Crafty42]

To make a long story short, I recently got a refurbed phone when mine crapped out. I was able to re-JB the phone, and got most everything back to the way I like it by SSH-ing into the phone and putting on my themes, etc. Now, I recall changing my SSH password when I first got it back up and running, but I'm trying to SSH into the phone today, and nothing is working. Not alpine, or any pw I can think I would have set it too. I can't believe I didn't write it down if it was that different, but can anyone help? Is there a way to recover the pw or reset it back? When I ran it first after the JB, it said the default PW had not been changed, so I changed it there...but I'm starting to lose my memory and patience. Thanks!

you may uninstall openSSH from your phone, and then reinstall it, see if that works. ive never tried this, so im not sure...

That didn't seem to work. :-( I can't believe I didn't write it down, or that it isn't one of my usual PWs I use...almost seems strange. Is there any way to reset it to the old alpine, or to get the PW file and crack it? Was there any special requirements on mobile terminal that might jog my memory to what I may have changed it to?

THe only thing I can think of, without actually editing the master password files, it that I can get into the file and get the hash out, but I don't know what format it is to use a brute force crack or anything.

Edit2: For anyone looking to fix this, I used iFile and reset the hash in the master.passwd file in "/etc" directory to "smx7MYTQIi2M" and then reboot. I then went into mobile terminal and changed the pw again to something I know this time. Still no clue what I must have set it to before, but I'm running JtR on the old hash to see what the hell I did. LOL.

Un/Re Installing OpenSSH did not work, but I posted above what I did and that worked.
