Go into Terminal.
cd to your home directory/.ssh
rm known_hosts

Then try to connect again using alpine as your password - works like a charm.

I had same problem with my iphone. I installed cydia package and it resolved the issue. Now, i am able to login as root with "alpine" password.

i think that a lot of people that had this problem used Ziphone to jailbreak.. thats what i did, and im having this problem... it sucks... ... now i have to do a full restore and will jailbreak using ipwned.... we will see what happens.. unfortunately i dont have time to do this today.. will have to wait till tomorrow..

Sorry to be a pain, but I'm a bit of a novice!! Can you explain exactly how I do this? I have the password not recognised issue to for a phone that I bought unlocked. I've installed Cydia and tried other things reccommended here.

I installed Cydia. What should I be doing to that you did that worked for you?!! Sorry, I'm a bit naive on this technical stuff!

If you are on a Mac, run cyberduck or fugu. Select SFTP as the protocol, 22 as the port, username = root, password = alpine. See if that works for you.
