  • What if you don't change the SSH worm what will happen then? And say if u delete the app terminal does it still save your changed password and stuff

  • @lauris47:

    Open mobile terminal

    Type: "su root" "alpine" "passwd" (new password) (new password again)

  • i hadnt heard of the worm but thanks this was really easy :)
