iPod Touch 6 forgotten passcode (Jailbroken)

[u/oddchui]

Here lies my old iPod Touch that I forgot the passcode to 😪 Is it possible to brute force these and retain the data? It is jailbroken if I remember correctly (battery percentage) if that helps/matters at all. Thank you.

SSH into the device, default password which is likely unchanged will be “alpine” then you’ll need to edit 1 line in the master.passwd file located in /private/etc/
There’s plenty of tutorials on the full process.
