If you are on a Jailbroken iPhone, make sure that you immediately change your iPhone password from ‘alpine’ to something else. Here is how to change your iPhone password via OpenSSH:

  1. Install MobileTerminal on your iPhone. Launch Cydia and search for ‘MobileTerminal’. Install it and then reboot your iPhone.
  2. Launch MobileTerminal app > Type su > Hit return.
  3. You will be now asked to enter current password. Type alpine > Hit return.
  4. You can now change your password. Type passwd > Hit return.
  5. Type your new password. Type ******* > Hit return.
  6. Retype new password. Type ******* > Hit return.

And you are done. Your iPhone is now safe.

About Me

Hi, I have been using this awesome invention called the Apple iPhone from November 2007 and have gone nutzzz over it. Nuts to an extent that I started this blog which talks just about iPhone and nothing else.

This blog of mine has been getting tremendous response and is being followed by all kinds of mobile phone users from all over the globe. Most of the traffic comes from the US and Europe. Thank you all for making this blog a success :)
