Also I take it iTunes is not needed at all during this process or when we have to ssh ?

To install SSH on the iPad, open Cydia, search for OpenSSH, and install. Job done. Nice and simple!
User is root, password is alpine.

You can install the toggle if you want to be able to toggle it on and off. Your choice. If you've changed the password, I really don't see the point in toggling it off personally. It will not save any significant resources, turning it off...

There was no app after install of ssh so uninstalled it wasn't to sure if there should be 1 or not ? I also didn't know if I'm changing the password and username on my iPad or on a download of the software for the pc , I have nt bothered with the software for the computer I'm not to sure about it all yet , I would appreciate a bit of help on the things I've just mentioned , should I just do it like the video by dahacker13 ssh - on you tube?

Ok I've installed OpenSSh and togglessh now I've installed my computer software I've managed to use ssh and connect to iPad so that's all good here is my problem I would like to Change my password but i don't understand the below instruction

enter the passwd command in the shell. You will be prompted to provide your new password and confirm it.


What is the shell ? Where is this please ? Do I only need to do it on my iPad it would seem there's nothing to change on the iPad ?

Cheers guys almost there

To change your passwords, go back to this link: http://www.ipadforums.net/showthread.php?t=28213

Then, find the paragraph titled "How do I change the default passwords?"

Follow the instructions therein and you'll be good to go.

Mate I've tried looking that it's the below but from that paragraph I don't get

enter the passwd command in the shell. You will be prompted to provide your new password and confirm it.

What is shell ? It opens up 2 windows after I've logged in to ssh please help :-(

 

[jockmcd]

This is what I have installed

iPad - OpenSSh
Togglessh

Laptop- winscp

I just want to make my own passwords do I have to. Hange password on my iPad or laptop or both ? Feel like crying its soooo frustrating

To be honest, trying to use WinSCP or PuTTY intimidates me (especially PuTTY!!!). For future reference, you should use PuTTY when you need to type commands in and WinSCP when you need to manage files. So, WinSCP isn't really the program you wanted to use here.

However, I've discovered another program that I find to be much easier to use (for me ... YMMV). Instead of using either of the other two programs program to wirelessly SSH into my iPad, I use a Windows program (on my PC) called i-FunBox to access my iPad. It's a free download from the 'Net (latest version is v1.96.938.649). It does the same as both WinSCP and PuTTY (it even has a terminal part).

When you use this program, your iPad is connected to your PC but you don't do anything with it. All your actions and commands will be done on the PC. So, you'll be changing the iPad's password on the PC... And yes, changing the password is necessary if you have OpenSSH installed as most anyone knows the default password.

After you've downloaded and installed i-FunBox on your PC, connect the iPad to the PC with the regular USB cord (have iTunes closed). Then, open the program. It should come up and show like the attached picture:

In the left column, you'll see the line "SSH Terminal." Click on it and It should open right up for you (the default password is known by and used by this program). You'll see a terminal screen on the right side.

To change your passwords (I'd recommend using the same one for both), do these two commands (ensure you put your cursor in the line I've outlined (#2):

(1) Type "passwd" [don't use the quotes - then press Return/Enter on your computer]

(1a) Retype your password per the prompt (note that you won't see the letters appear)

(2) Type "passwd mobile" [again, no quotes and press Return/Enter on your PC]

(2a) Again, retype your password per the prompt

That's it. You have successfully changed both the root and mobile passwords on your iPad. let us know how you get on.

Much appreciated mate thanks for that I may just give that a shot although I would prefer wireless, referring to ssh winscp and putty are you telling me the following:

If I need to manage files I should use winscp

If I want to change my default password and username I should also install an extra program putty as I cannot change This with winscp

P.s have a read at my FaceTime post on ipad3 forum
