Guys! Be nice... He did say he's a newbie...

@philly90:

You will need a linux based machine and install something called "John the Ripper". You the need to install something called rootsh from the N900 Application Manager. Once you have done these, go read the rest of the HOWTO at URL http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...+ripper&page=3

Seriously, the search button is on the top-right corner of this webpage. You really should try that as this is a common question and we don't want too many threads asking about the same problem. Hope this helps...
