------------------------------------
Reason: To protect the files in iOS so that nobody can access your
folders easily over WiFi and 3G internet connection.
Cause: After Jailbreaking, you actually open up (or techincally call
"root") your phone so in terms of USB connection, you can
access all the folders. But the issue is due to the nature of
Jailbreak, it is also open up through a WiFi/3G connection.
Although not as easy as USB access, it is protected by a
password.
But, the password is a default password which EVERYBODY
in the Jailbreak will know. Its "Alpine".
Steps:
1) Run MobileTerminal
2) type "su root"
3) type return
4) when prompt on the screen on top
key in "alpine"
5) type return
6) type "passwd"
7) type return
8) type in your password
9) re-type in your password
10) type "passwd mobile"
11) repeat steps 7 to 9
12) Exit MobileTerminal by pressing home
13) That's it.
