Reset Password for iPhone

Now everyone knows your iPhone’s root password ‘dottie’. Considering the issue of security and privacy, you are encouraged to change it ASAP.

Don’t worry, it’s very simple and easy:

  1. download the tool ‘password‘ from here. 25KB. by Drunkdwarf.
  2. copy ‘password‘ to your iPhone’s ‘/bin‘ directory by WinSCP or PuTTY via SSH. Don’t forget to allow you to ‘execute’ it: chmod +x /bin/password or WinSCP’s Properties dialog to check that option.
  3. Launch ‘password‘ under command window. Either use PuTTY, or MobileTerminal.
  4. Enter your new password twice and you are done.

    The password utility mentioned in the post is for firmware 1.0.2. So if your ff is 1.1.1 or above ,please google for the updated tool.

    tierry, please check Settings->WiFi, then click the blue arrow of the connected network. Now you should see the IP address.

    btw, please speak English next time. I’m completely dumb to Portuguese :(
    thanks.
