If you've ever jailbroken your #iPhone, no matter on which #iOS version, you are probably aware of the little recommendation saurik put in #Cydia about the default password for the root account on the device. This password is especially important considering the OpenSSH or DropBear are installed by default and allow incoming connections to the device.
By default, on any iOS, the default password for the ROOT account is "alpine". This is well known and therefore makes you vulnerable if you are jailbroken. A lot of people followed the Cydia guide, changed the password but forgot what they put in there as the new one. When the time came for them to sign in as root in a terminal to run whatever command that required elevated privileges, surprise, they can't authenticate.
Changing the password on iOS for the #root account is unfortunately not as straight-forward as it may be on a web service. There is no link to click for forgotten passwords, nor any security questions you can answer. The method? Deal with the "master.passwd" file located in /etc/ and hash yourself a new password. While it might not be as easy as it was changing it the first time via the "passwd" command, once you're done and you know your new password, you can use the "passwd" command once again to make modifications the easy way.
