Go to the main menu, scroll down, go to "OpenSSH Access How-To". Follow the steps if you haven't already installed SSH. If you have, then scroll down, and there's another arrow taking you to "Change default password." And follow those instructions. Alternatively, install OpenSSH. Get your iPhone's ip address Open Terminal Login to your iPhone using "ssh root@ Accept the host key if you are asked login with password "alpine" type "passwd" you will be asked for a new password, but the cursor won't respond as you type in, so be careful. you will be asked to repeat the password. again, be careful all done Speaking of changing the SSH password, in Cydia, there is a nice step by step tutorial.

Open Terminal
Login to your iPhone using “ssh root@
Accept the host key if you are asked
login with password “alpine”
type “passwd”

you will be asked for a new password, but the cursor won’t respond as you type in, so be careful.

Again (not for the first time) someone has broken into a range of iPhones over the 3G network, using the default password: see http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2009/11/dutch-hacker-holds-jailbroken-iphones-hostage-for-5.ars Unfortunately, most SSH tutorials fail to mention this.
