dm500c Bypassing Parental Lock

[cksamurai]

can files on a dm500c be backed up or accessed due to lossed / forgotten Parental Lock pin? is there any app software that can be used with a serial null calble to find out stuff like ip address or read ' decode logs. does the motherboard have a jumper like a pc board where settings can be reset? :musicus:

It's possible if you can ftp to the box or if you have the tuxbox commander plugin in your image.

FTP to /var/tuxbox/config/enigma and find a file called 'config'.

Right click it and select 'view'.

Look for a line like...

parentallock=00000000

Open up your windows calculator and go to scientific mode.
Click on the HEX button.
Enter in the last 4 characters in the parental lock line in the config file.
Click the DEC button.

This is your 4 digit pin code. You can then use it to disable the parental lock or Setup lock on your image.

If you can't ftp, your only option left is if you have the tuxbox commander plugin installed in your image, in the plugins menu (Blue or yellow button). You can navigate to the config file using this plugin and edit the file here.

This could work for the DB 500. Any help on the DB 800? Do you know of any Master Code for the DBs?? I am really stuck! Thanks

[ammoun]

Looks like a dead forum!

[freck]

What do you mean by a dead forum?? 0000 is the default code.

[ammoun]

Thank you. A Dead forum is because no one answered my request till you decided to, I should have said Dead Thread, sorry! The 0000 is not working. Any other possible number? I tried all obvious ones! Thank u again.

I think you may have misunderstand what was advised to you. did you do the following?

FTP to /var/tuxbox/config/enigma and find a file called 'config'.

Right click it and select 'view'.

Look for a line like...

parentallock=00000000

-------------

What does your line say in that file?

[ammoun]

I did that but the enigma 2 for DB 800 does not have an enigma folder or a config file, it has enigme2 folder and a settings file. That file has no entry of a parentalcode or any mention of a pin number! It does have 5 entries but none states a pin number in Hex or otherwise. I really did not misunderstand but the DB800 is different from the DB500. Any other ideas will be highly appreciated and thank u for answering my query.

[ammoun]

OK, I found the line: config.ParentalControl.servicepin.0=xxxx in "settings" file in etc/enigma2 folder using DCC (or any FTP client to connect to the box). This line has the PIN code in decimal as entered during setup. So, whoever uses enigma2 (Gemini2 project) operating software for dreambox 800 or 7025, this is where the code is saved. I hope this will help others out there.

hi everibody

if you telnet into box, run the following 2 commands could help for locating in different boxes.

cd /
grep -ri parental *

you may have to waita while, but it should spurt out the location for you.

[dalejake]

hi guys , this is my first attempt with a dreambox , its a c500 ,, i have the dk 1.1 image on it its working realy well except or the parental lock , no matter what i do i can get it work keep resetting it but with no luck , tried the calculator to check if the numbers are correct i am entering :(

[sKeith]

I am understanding you correctly.

It seems you are having trouble getting the parental lock to work.

This thread is about finding the parental code that is set and working which you have lost or forgotten to gain access to locked channels. If that is what you need, i can help.

[dalejake]

yes that what is wrong , sorry its in the wrong thread

[sKeith]

no problem, make sure not to try to hide and lock a channel/boquet. I tried that before and it dont work. just lock it. in boquet editer, it puts a key beside it, i think you press blue for more options in there.

[dalejake]

brill that worked thanx for al the help :)

I had to access my parental lock.

What I did was to FTP my dreambox.

ftp://192.168.1.100/var/tuxbox/config/enigma/

Then copied the config file on my computer.
Opened it in Notepad.
Ctrl+F to locate the "Parental" text in it.
The code had 0000 and then 4 more characters.
I copied the last 4 characters.
Opened calculator
Changed the calculator settings scientific and selected Hex mode
Pasted the 4 characters
Then selected Dec instead of HEX and wlaaaa! there it was, the pin :ciao:

Have fun!!!!
