Works for me.
What you have to do is download the 426 version from http://code.google.com/p/mobileterminal/downloads/list
then SSH the folder to your root/Applications/
reboot require

If you are looking for a easy way to change the Default Apple password just download RockApp its the easiest way and anyone can do it! I tried lo9ading Mobile Terminal several times and it does not function properly if it opens at all. even the developer says its not entirely ported into iOS 4.0.1 just yet and not to get high hopes up
Tried that, I get a blank app icon, which if I try to open just acts like it opens but doesn't change screen and reverts back to sb. I'm a total nub but I'm trying to change rootpass after a fresh jb so I can learn to not be nub! I jb'd with redsn0w after ios4 upgrade(stupid stupid) and can't use mobile terminal. I used filezilla to ssh the terminal.app folder out of the .zip but when I select ther applications folder in the iphone it reverts to "/private/var/stash/Applications.ySsRvV" is that the correct file to put it in? I'm in as root. is there a FAQ? All I've found is FAQs for macs. I'm on win7.

Just install MobileTerminal 426 from the xsellize repo.
To change the root and mobile passwords, you don't even need MobileTerminal if you ssh into the phone using openSSH. I find it much easier to do this on my Mac using CyberDuck than using the small screen with MobileTerminal.
Sorry if this upsets those who know exactly what they are doing, but I am trying to write this as simply as is possible for those who feel they are in an ocean of despair at not getting terminal running and for those virgin terminal users.
Step by step for changing both mobile and root passwords.
Both password were changed tonight on my iphone 4 (ios 4.0.1) using the following:-
Run Cydia and navigate through / Manage/ Sources/ Edit/ select Add
input http://cydia.xsellize.com
Use cydia search to find and install the current beta Terminal for iOS4 (just search for terminal as only 2 download options appeared on mine and the ios4 compatible terminal is clearly marked)
Hit the home button on your phone and run terminal (note that passwords and commands below are shown with quotes. do NOT enter the quotes as they are solely to identify the relevant required input data)
Type in su root and hit RETURN.
Type the root password alpine and hit RETURN.
You are now logged in as root. Type passwd and hit RETURN.
input a new password (dont do a short simple one) and hit RETURN. You wont see anything being entered on the terminal screen during password entries so pay attention to what you are typing on the keypad.
the iPhone will now ask you to retype the new password, so type in your newly created password and hit RETURN.
Type Exit
Respring and thats it for the root password.
Dont forget to change your mobile$ password as well while you are here. It is done almost exactly the same as the root apart from one difference.
Run Terminal and you will see it says mobile$ on screen and is waiting for a command.
Type passwd and touch RETURN. You will be prompted for the original default mobile alpine password here so enter it and hit RETURN
input a new password (for ease of use use the same new password you used for the root password) and hit RETURN. (as before, you wont see anything during password entries so pay attention to what you are typing on the keypad).
it will now prompt you to retype the new password, so type in your new password and hit RETURN. (Nothing is shown to say it has worked here, the software only gives you a message if your confirmation password entry fails to match the new password just entered
Type Exit
Respring and thats it, Job done and both passwords changed.
For a first post on a forum that looks a lot bigger than the 'Hello I am new here' type post I had planned to do.

Went to to the first step and add repo. http://cydia.xsellize.com
I got this warning and am afraid to proceed. Never seen such a warning.
