Reset Password for iPhone
August 19th, 2007
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:
- download the tool ‘password‘ from here. 25KB. by Drunkdwarf.
- 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.
- Launch ‘password‘ under command window. Either use PuTTY, or MobileTerminal.
- Enter your new password twice and you are done.
