Open SSH Password

Okay, I changed by password using terminal and the passwd command.

But when I use Cyberduck the new password does not work-still wants the Alpine.

What am I doing wrong?

Are you using Mobile Terminal on the iPhone itself? If not, download it through Cydia.

1. Launch Terminal, type in: 'su root', it'll prompt you for your current password next, so type in 'alpine'. (Don't use quotations obviously).

Doing the above logs you in as 'root', because by default if you launch terminal and just use the 'passwd' command, it doesn't actually change it per se as you are logged in as 'mobile', which doesn't have sufficient permissions to change the password.

2. Type in 'passwd', and it should prompt you to enter a new password and then ask you to verify it again. Hope this helps!

That did the job-thanks-I was not logged in as root...
