DM500 Default password problem

[Tinkerstar]

Hi all..

I have this box which i been using for some time. I wanted to update the channel and I read through the forum on how to do it. I tried to access the box via ftp but it keep saying password/ login details wrong.

I tried the default userid and password as below:
userid: root
Password: dreambox

Think the software is written by sgdvb

Anyone know the correct password from you or how can i go about flashing the box or updating the channel?

Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you

Don't think u can ftp using default id/password as it's been changed since day one.. from ur seller.
One way.. clean flash via null serial cable once u have the keys/scce files.

rgds.

already pm you the details

[Tinkerstar]

Thanks bomchacha..thats the keys and scce files?

I cant connect via dreamup. it says on ur dreambox. on already but nothing happens.

since i do not have the password, will this hinder the flashing process.

do u happen to know wat method should i use?

thanks in adv

If you do not have a coms port for the null modem cable, then you need to buy a usb adapter for your null cable.

USB Adapter can be bought from Sim Lim (Bizgram level 5)


Null Modem cable can be bought easily from any shops which sells computer cables
at Sim Lim

not sure if the prob lies with the usb thingy.....

[DBTraitor]

yes, its the usb problem
i suggest you go for what is recommended in the pic shown by Bomchacha

Hi Bomchacha.
I have similar problem as Tinkerstar and I had already flash via web browser.
Base on your advice, does it mean that flashing using null modem will reset the dreambox username and password?

Thank you.

why do you need the pin where obviously you wont get it.......
either reflash an image without pin or do your channel updating via yellow button

Last choice, go back to your seller
