How To Change Your iPhone Root Password, friendly reminder to all iPhone users!
If you’re user of first-gen or 3G iPhone, change your root password.
If you have jailbroken your iPhone, your default root password is “alpine” . This puts you at a distinct security disadvantage when connected to open networks as it allows the nefarious to browse your entire iPhone with impunity. This is pretty old news but it was just reminded how dangerous as John Biggs’s iPhone showed up on his open wireless network and made itself “available” to his ministrations. If you have not jailbroken your iPhone, rest easy. You’re not at risk.
