download a program called putty the select telnet tab, insert your dreambox ip and current user name/password then follow instructions you have, if you need newer instruction give me a shout m8


saved you the hassle here it is m8 Digital Kaos - Downloads - putty (http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/downloads/other/8/putty-390/)

So you've ftp'd keys to the box before then? So your box is already connected to your PC?

On your PC:


Start > Run > telnet ip.address.of.dreambox
(see pic)
Log in with:

Username: root
Password: dreambox

Then type:


passwd

Enter new password then enter it again and that's it changed.

No you won't see the text you enter in case some one is looking over your shoulder:D. You have to enter the password twice for it to take affect, if they don't match you'll be told.
