        Dreambox 500 Plus S

        Hi,

        I am really sorry in posting my question here but I am desperate. I just bought a Dreambox 500s and Flashed the memory using Flash Wizard 6.3 via LAN connection. The flash image was gemini 3.6.0. When I turn on my Dreambox, I get the red and green lights flashing continuously and nothing shows up on TV. Please, what should I do? Would it work to use a Null Cable and DreamUP? Once again, sorry for posting my question here....

                      the dreambox uses its own boot loader called dreamup i wouldn't recommend using a 3rd party tool.....download dreamup and flash it using a null modem cable if that wont work now use the telnet method posted

                          The default username is root. Password is dreambox.

                            maybe this can help you
                            how to find out dreambox password


                            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
                            (change last 4 digits to 22b8 and ur pass is now 8888)
                            or
                            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.
                            cant remember where i got this
                            so thanks to original poster
