    Noob Question - Extracting passwd from DM500 img

    Yo experts!
    I've gotten a DM500 .bin file that i usually used to frash moi DM500 box with DreamUp.
    Then i realize i gotch no password to telnet into it.
    Default password etc dont work.

    So i can....
    1: Refrash image from some link here...
    2: Extract the passwd file from the img file...

    Any one has any ideas how i can do item 2?
    I've tried unzip to no avil.
    Heading the file shows the standard stuff i think:
    ECompressed ROMFSCompressedA

    Any idea?
    SOrry... noob...

    The best way is to use the null modem cable to flash it over with dreamboxedit

          Yea....
          But if i want to use dbedit to upload da channels into the box, i kinda need the root password...
          Thought if i could mount the bin to a folder or something, i could get it from the passwd file which all linux should store their username / password?

          hehehe!
