[SOLVED] Not being able to ssh despite using correct password

Issue

I'm trying to follow up with this tutorial https://samsclass.info/128/proj/p2xipre.htm

I installed brew install libimobiledevice Then I did iproxy 2222 22 Everything works as expected; until I have to ssh -p 2222 root@localhost

I get permission denied, try again everytime I put the password; I even changed and made sure using passwd command. No clue why it's acting up.

Solution

I believe the tutorial you were following had some confusion about the password. Usually when something like this happens to me on a jailbroken device I go back and try to ssh with the default username and password:

username: root
password: alpine

Nine times out of ten the password is set to the default, so try there first.
