Assuming you have MobileTerminal installed on the phone:
1. Run 'su' enter password 'alpine'
2. Run 'passwd' follow the prompts, change to something secure.

Optionally, turn SSHd off when you aren't using it by installing SSH Toggle (IIRC) from Cydia.]]>Nov 8th 2009 10:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/08/first-iphone-worm-rickrolls-jailbroken-phones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/08/first-iphone-worm-rickrolls-jailbroken-phones/Nov 8th 2009 11:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/08/first-iphone-worm-rickrolls-jailbroken-phones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/08/first-iphone-worm-rickrolls-jailbroken-phones/
This is why "*nix" has no public presence. Because of the arrogance of those with knowledge.

Fortunately, the arrogance on this commenter was light enough to allow him to post the solution. The darkness is still weak with this one, but they all succumb to it eventually.]]>Nov 8th 2009 11:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/08/first-iphone-worm-rickrolls-jailbroken-phones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/08/first-iphone-worm-rickrolls-jailbroken-phones/Nov 8th 2009 11:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/08/first-iphone-worm-rickrolls-jailbroken-phones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/08/first-iphone-worm-rickrolls-jailbroken-phones/
And that's why these "one button" jailbreak tools are bad. Cause any idiot can hit a button, but to really do things right requires some experience with cli (that short for command line for all you not*nix heads ;) ).

@Brian

I hear you about some hardcore users but actually Linux has a pretty good support network. But it's hard when people come around asking how to fix something you know they shouldn't have had any business messing with. You know what I mean? After the umpteenth time, it wears on your nerves... so cut nerdtalker some slack...]]>Nov 8th 2009 11:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/08/first-iphone-worm-rickrolls-jailbroken-phones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/08/first-iphone-worm-rickrolls-jailbroken-phones/
We share the same name but not sentiment. Conversely, one could say that *nix remains difficult for underlings to understand or use because they're both averse to searching google for answers, or because they think they're always intitled to help.

That said, I wasn't trying to be arrogant, merely helpful and perhaps defend why the engadget editors didn't make or link to a step by step guide. It's because - well, passwd is pretty fundamental. That said we were all noobs once, right?

Also regarding stuff not working I'm pretty sure that's an old problem. I've changed mine and nothing bad has happened yet. ]]>Nov 9th 2009 12:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/08/first-iphone-worm-rickrolls-jailbroken-phones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/08/first-iphone-worm-rickrolls-jailbroken-phones/Nov 9th 2009 2:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/08/first-iphone-worm-rickrolls-jailbroken-phones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/08/first-iphone-worm-rickrolls-jailbroken-phones/Nov 8th 2009 10:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/08/first-iphone-worm-rickrolls-jailbroken-phones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/08/first-iphone-worm-rickrolls-jailbroken-phones/Nov 8th 2009 10:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/08/first-iphone-worm-rickrolls-jailbroken-phones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/08/first-iphone-worm-rickrolls-jailbroken-phones/.]]>Nov 8th 2009 10:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/08/first-iphone-worm-rickrolls-jailbroken-phones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/08/first-iphone-worm-rickrolls-jailbroken-phones/Nov 8th 2009 10:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/08/first-iphone-worm-rickrolls-jailbroken-phones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/08/first-iphone-worm-rickrolls-jailbroken-phones/Nov 8th 2009 10:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/08/first-iphone-worm-rickrolls-jailbroken-phones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/08/first-iphone-worm-rickrolls-jailbroken-phones/Nov 8th 2009 10:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/08/first-iphone-worm-rickrolls-jailbroken-phones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/08/first-iphone-worm-rickrolls-jailbroken-phones/Nov 8th 2009 10:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/08/first-iphone-worm-rickrolls-jailbroken-phones/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/08/first-iphone-worm-rickrolls-jailbroken-phones/
