i solved this in a simple script, no need to remove ssh password

see appletv wiki forums

http://forum.atvflash.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=3116

script =

property commandString : “ssh frontrow@appletv.local”
property commandString1 : “frontrow”
property commandString2 : “sudo reboot”

tell application “Terminal”
launch
set visible of window 1 to false
if (count of windows) is 1 then
do script commandString in window 1
delay 1
do script commandString1 in window 1
delay 1
do script commandString2 in window 1
delay 1
do script commandString1 in window 1
else
set frontmost of window 1 to true
do script commandString in window 1
delay 1
do script commandString1 in window 1
delay 1
do script commandString2 in window 1
delay 1
do script commandString1 in window 1
end if
end tell
delay 1
tell application “Terminal”
if (count of windows) is 1 then
quit
else
set frontmost of window 1 to true
end if
end tell
tell application “Finder”
display dialog “ATV Rebooted Satis”
end tell

copy that straight into applescript then run. can save as app if required

Ya, the only way to fix that is to restore your Apple TV and start again. Sorry
