Is there a way to change the ftp password of a tm500 ? I cant remember the ftp password, can i do it via telnet etc?

It's normally root but if you've changed it.............Found elsewhere might be worth a try m8

If you happen to forget your TM root password, here's how to do it:

If you have an image that accepts plugins from internet

1) Install TuxCom plugin
2) Run it from Yellow button
3) Point to /var/etc/passwd
change the line containing root into root::0:0::/:/bin/sh
now you can telnet your TM with an empty root password and create a new password for root.

Hi i forgot my password for technomate tm 500 super, so i want to change it, I follow your steps, where you saying install telnet plugin by yellow button, but i cant access tuxCommander it ask me for password, I tried techonmate control center as well but error is coming, i dont want to change any setting or delete any channels, all my channels are coming but i just want to access my ccam config file and key file. Please tell me solution. Thanks.

UR decided to add a password lock to TuxboxCommander for some reason, it can't be disabled and password entry only allows number and lower case letters...
