Can't Jailbreak ATV2 ver 4.2.1 (2100)

Logged in through Putty SSH, typed password ''alpine'' but it said access denied.

OK I FOUND IT:
username: root
password: alpine

Add the missing repository, Copy&Paste into Putty, enter each separately
>echo "deb hxxp://apt.saurik.com/ tangelo-3.7 main">/etc/apt/sources.list.d/saurik.list< (*replace xx with tt in the address, RFD hotlinks it when I type it out correctly)
>apt-get update<
>apt-get -f install<

3. Working XBMC audio and SMB, instructions:

Copy&Paste into Putty
a. >wget hxxp://hadm.net/~keith/xbmc_atv2/latest_atv2.deb< (again, replace xx with tt in the address)
b. >dpkg -i latest_atv2.deb< (enter and install)

(relevant until that is updated in Nito)

4. Working Bluetooth keyboard:

Copy&Paste into Putty
a. >apt-get install ch.ringwald.keyboard-atv<
b. >apt-get install org.tomcool.btstack-ui<

Go to Frontrow, Settings>Custom Settings>BTSTack (searches for your BT keyboard), Type 0000 and press enter.

5. Change default "alpine" password (if you wish):

Copy&Paste into Putty
>passwd< (enter new password)

6. Enable AC3 and DTS for XBMC through SPDIF to 7.1 receiver:

(You need to be familiar with an SSH client that will let you edit, I use winSCP)
Navigate to /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/userdata/guisettings.xml

In <audiooutput>, change "false" to "true"
<ac3passthrough>false</ac3passthrough>
<dtspassthrough>false</dtspassthrough>

Install other Nito apps as desired.
Enjoy

You logged in as "root" with password as "alpine", all lowercase? If so then it sounds like you've changed your password already.

Or is it possible you used the IP address of your iPhone instead of your ATV2? I've seen people do that by mistake...

I'd install nitoTV first since you can install XBMC from it. It probably doesn't matter though.

Loggen in using my ATV ip. UID ROOT Pass: alpine, I did not change anything. It would not work any other way.

thanks guys. Installed XBMC first, then icefilms and navi-x, then installed NitoTV. But now I'm wondering why do I need nitoTV. Thinking of uninstalling it.

You don't need it. Some people like to have it because it saves them from spending time at the command line (via ssh). It has a few utilities it can install that are handy but not required... and most (if not all) can be installed from the command line.
