What is Administrative Password to be used?

[sreddy1]

First off, Thanks to Lincoln for the very well written tutorial on Jailbreaking Apple I phone 3G Ver 3.1.2.

In step 9, what is the Administrative Password u r referring to? I have not set any password on the phone.

My phone currently uses Mac OS 3.1. It has been unlocked earlier. I read some where that if I install Ver 3.1.2 now, the phone gets locked again with the earlier carrier. If so, how to unlock again?

I have an I Phone 3G & I want to jailbreak my phone without upgrading to 3.1.2 if that can be done to avoid all these complications..

Thanks if someone can chip in.

I think the administrative password is alpine by default, unless you changed it.

Isn't it 1234 ?

When I was jailbroke wasnt it

username: admin
password: alpine

This is just from memory, though.

When you SSH, username is root. Don't know if it's the same.

So, no consensus? May b the author can help.

Any comments on this please?

Thanks.

You can upgrade to 3.1.2 and jailbreak/unlock with no complications at all. Just use PwnageTool (Mac) or Blackra1n (Windows & Mac).

Steps:

1 - Blacksn0w (Windows) - http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=5886

2 - PwnageTool (Mac):

A. Jailbreak using this http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=4254

B. Unlock using this (after jailbreaking, of course) http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=4253

I've never used Blackra1n but I used PwnageTool and it's great.

SSH default username and password is definitely:

Root
Alpine

All lower Case

Since my computer runs on windows, perhaps the right link to follow is :

http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=5886

"Before continuing make sure you are on the 05.11.07 baseband by following this (http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=2543) tutorial. If you are not please update your firmware to 3.1.2 using iTunes before continuing."

I am on the 05.11.07 baseband (In my phone, It is listed as modem firmware in settings>> General >> About) but my software version is 3.1.
Should I now upgrade to ver 3.1.2?

"I've never used Blackra1n but I used PwnageTool and it's great."

Is there a pwnage tool for use in windows also?

If your going to use blacksn0w you should update to 3.1.2

And no there isnt a pwnage tool for Windows.
