Use SBSettings to obtain your phone's IP address, then in Terminal (Mac) or Command Prompt (Windows):

ssh root@<IPhone IP address>

After a delay, accept the prompt, then you'll be logged in and can proceed with the password changes.

I don't know how to find the iPhone's "System" for that matter. Is that more concise? Hopefully you understand what I'm looking for and trying to accomplish. I'm not a techie so maybe I'm not describing/elaborating/explaining properly.
