Setup Pin Lock?

[aa898]

Anyone,

I cannot access the setup of my dreambox, as when I recieved the dreambox from the supplier it came with a Pin number. I do not know this pin. can anyone inform me how to obtain this set up lock?
Mine is a DM500-C

bro, reflash your box with a new image without lock

Not sure if these boxes have a master pin. Found this on another site, trt it, it may work.

If I understand correctly (not sure about that), our friend is after the Set-Up Pin for his DM500.
If so this may help:-
Open Dreambox Control Centre.
Click on FTP
Goto /var/tuxbox/config/enigma
There you should find a file named ?config?
Right click on it
Click on View, then on Edit and on Search and paste this Line:-
i:/elitedvb/pins/setuplock=
At the end of this Line, you will find different numbers/letters
Example:-
i:/elitedvb/pins/setuplock=000001cf
The value 000001cf is in HEX and should be converted to Decimal
In this example, HEX 000001cf is equivalent to DEC 463
So here the Set-Up Lock PIN is 0463
Note that your Set-Up Lock PIN will always have four digits.

i am doing all as info posted .. my problem is ..when i convert info from hex to deci ..i am getting 5 digits .. but dm 500 set up password is only 4 digits .. so my set up info last number/letters are -b6d8 .. plz solve this mystery for me .

thanx

Try the method posted by badapple on page 1. It's working if you can do ftp.

i wish i could, but i not only dont have the null cable, i also dont have the port as well in my workstation or laptop.



there are channels which simply cant be watched due to signal not strong or cannot decode properly.

i wouldnt mind if i have to bring it to anyone body's house just to able to help me configure it properly.

initially i thought by hooking it up to my router it will do the trick and update everything, guess my luck aint there.

If tats your problem... Even if you have the pin or ftp password will not help you solve your problem.

These are nothing with the box or firmware, it is your signal problem.

what i meant was that certain channels cannot watch, while other channels no problem watching it.

i thought by unlocking the pin and then updating the channel list or something to refresh the list to date will solve it.

last time my friend once also have such problem, but i forgot what he did that makes him able to watch these channels again.

sadly he not in sg anymore.
