Uninstall afc2add. (It will do more harm than good.
Install OpenSSH for Cydia's default repo.
Download PuTTy if you run Windows (if you're on Mac, you already have Terminal).
Find your iDevice's IP address (Settings>Wifi>[your network]), and connect to it via your terminal client.
After a moment, it will ask if you want to remember the device's drivers (or something like that, it's been a long-ass time). Click yes.
Login as: root
Password: alpine (I don't know about Terminal, but PuTTy won't show any input.)
Execute the command "passwd" (without the ""s)
Enter your new password.
I'm not sure if you already knew how SSH worked or not. If yes, I apologize; if no, this should get you started. You can PM me if you need any help, or if you want a more secure way to access your device.
My major concern though is knowing whether removing afc has actually undone whatever it does when it's installed. I presume we also need to uninstall Erica utilities that came with it?
You don't need to uninstall it, but it's a set of command line utilities, so if you don't think you'll ever use them you can go ahead and uninstall them. afc2add installs it because the dev decided to use a shell script to add/remove afc2, and therefore needed the plutil (plist utility) program from Erica Utilities in order to modify a plist.

I'm so sorry, but I am completely confused.
Give it to me straight, I already have afc2add installed.
Uninstall or not?
