      From tuxcommander, passwd shows the hex for the passowrd entered. Anybody knows how to convert the hex into a legible "password"

        Reset root Password

        Hi
        For all those who cannot install tuxbox commander plugin and need to reset the root password, below what I did to do this:
        1) create a share folder in your PC and mount using your remote to /media/var
        2) change the location of the local /var to the newly mounted folder
        3) thats it the box will reboot and all the /var folder will be copied to your PC.
        4) Now you can browse to the /var/etc folder and edit the passwd file.

        good luck

              Hi all,

              I installed Commando yesterday via a null modem cable and it was super easy! Although there was another file called 'lipcrypto' that I am not sure what to do with.

              Anyway, the installation looks really good but for some reason I am now unable to access the Dreambox via Enigma TV on my PC. I have checked the ip address and password but still get no joy.

              What is really odd is that I can however access the deambox in Firefox (without a password as well - user name only)

              I have therefore want to make sure that I can input the correct password and have pasted the contents of the above file below:

              root::0:0::/:/bin/sh
              sshd:*:65532:65534::/:/bin/false
              ftp:*:65533:65534::/:/bin/false
              nobody:*:65534:65534::/:/bin/false


              Can someone please check and let me know what the password should read?

              Regards John.
