How To Change the iPhone’s Root Password | Just Another iPhone Blog
Changeing Default Root Password for Iphone
-
- At that prompt, type: passwd
- You’ll be prompted for the ‘old’ (current) password for the mobile
user. Enter this as the old password: alpine - You’ll then be prompted to enter the new password – so just type in your
desired new password. Use good password principles if possible (long and
stong). You will not see characters appearing on the screen as you type –
that’s normal, not a concern. - You’ll then be prompted to re-enter the new password. Do that.
- You should then be returned to the Mobile$ prompt that you started on when
opening the MobileTerminal app. There’s no success message to say the
password was changed – but if you’re returned to the prompt and do not get an
error, the change was successful. And you’re done with change for the
mobile account. - The second primary admin account for the iPhone is called root – so now you
need to change that as well. - Type this to switch to the root user: login root
- You’ll be prompted for the root user’s current password. Enter this:
alpine - Type this to start the password change routine again: passwd
- Enter the old password for root (it is ‘alpine’, same as for the mobile
user) and enter your desired new password twice, just as you did for the mobile
account
The app to use on the iPhone is called MobileTerminal and it’s available for
free in the Cydia store.Once you have MobileTerminal installed, launch it and you should see a prompt
saying this or similar:iPhoneName: ~ Mobile$

The Security Configuration Wizard documentation set contains deployment, extensibility options and troubleshooting tips to assist you in running the wizard.
Security Configuration Wizard (SCW) is an attack surface reduction tool for members of the Microsoft® Windows Server™ 2003 family with Service Pack 1 (SP1). SCW determines the minimum functionality required for a server's role or roles, and disables functionality that is not required.

TechNet Virtual Lab: Network Access Protection with IPSec Enforcement
After completing this lab, you will be better able to understand NAP components, review NAP health certificates, verify connectivity between compliant NAP clients, and demonstrate network restriction of a noncompliant NAP client.
Network Access Protection
Network Access Protection (NAP) is a new platform and solution that controls access to network resources based on a client computer’s identity and compliance with corporate governance policy. NAP allows network administrators to define granular levels of network access based on who a client is, the groups to which the client belongs, and the degree to which that client is compliant with corporate governance policy. If a client is not compliant, NAP provides a mechanism to automatically bring the client back into compliance and then dynamically increase its level of network access.

Network Access Protection (NAP) is a new policy enforcement technology in the Windows Vista® operating system and Windows Server® 2008 operating system. NAP provides components and an application programming interface (API) set that help administrators enforce compliance with health requirements for network access and communication. This paper contains an introduction to NAP and instructions for setting up a test lab to deploy NAP with the Internet Protocol security (IPsec) enforcement method.
