Change root passwd on iPhone 1.1.3

In addition to changing the password, it's probably a good idea to install Services (in the Utilities category of the Installer) to disable SSH when it is not in use. This prevents remote access via SSH, and apparently has a significant positive effect on battery life.

Also, Independence has a working GUI method for changing the root and user passwords.
