Root/Alpine don't work anymore!

[tthom16]

He everyone,

Since today i got a problem when logging in by WinSCP or Terminal.
My firmware is 3.0.1
Normally i logged in by this why in WINSCP (without any problems):
Host name: (my ip adress) Port: 22
Username: root
Password: alpine
File Protocol: SFTP

But since today that doesn't work anymore.

I started searching on the internet and clicked on a tutorial that explained how to change your password by "Terminal".
That doesn't work either because it sais "incorrect login".

Is there any explanation for this? Am i doing something wrong?
I heard that it can also be a worm that's using the random password and username to get in.

Thanks already for your help

Did you change it because of the Ikee scare?

[tthom16]

I didn't even know how to change the password before i started searching how to do that today.

Maybe your WiFi IP changed. Check that, and reinstall OpenSSH. If you have SBSettings make sure it's enabled.

The ip address for my phone changed randomly one day, re-check that

[tthom16]

My ip-adress is still the same (Wifi Networks-> Ip-adress). But that isn't the problem caus i also can't change the password with "Terminal", which doesn't require a ip-adress.

I also reinstaled openSSH. Didn't work :S

Something or someone must have changed your password.. time for a restore.

Hmmm i was already scared of that.
Thanks for your help! Next time i change it directly.

Dont restore until you check your password again with mobile terminal.

terminal or mobile terminal?

terminal requires ssh to be working, mobile terminal on the iphone doesn't
