    DM500 Default password problem

    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.

        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

          Answer is all here


          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

                don't flash other than windows xp. I've tried windows 7 and 8 but no result. cable can be bought at sim lim tower basement shop.

                    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
