How to Change your Root Password

From http://mr09.fileave.com/ -

1. Get an SSH program like putty for windows.
2. SSH to your iPhone. (This may take a while.)
3. A warning about a key fingerprint may appear. You can just accept that.
4. Login using username "root" and password "alpine". (the default password)
5. Type "passwd".
6. You will be asked for a new password. Enter your new password.

The reason you have to change the default password is that by default this is "alpine". That means hackers can access your iPhone if you don't change this.
