If you have done the "JailBreak" and installed applications on your iPod Touch then you could do worse than spending a few moments to change the root password - as this is known on the Internet.

So go to the "Settings" panel, and find your iPods IP address (in my case 192.168.0.138) - ssh into it like this :

ssh root@192.168.0.138

when asked for the password :

password: alpine

and then

passwd

to change the password to something else.

Please be aware that first time you log into your iPod Touch with ssh it will need to generate a set of keys, which will take a little bit of time.
