      So you've ftp'd keys to the box before then? So your box is already connected to your PC?

      On your PC:

      Code:
      Start > Run > telnet ip.address.of.dreambox
      (see pic)
      Log in with:

      Username: root
      Password: dreambox

      Then type:

      Code:
      passwd
      Enter new password then enter it again and that's it changed.

          No you won't see the text you enter in case some one is looking over your shoulder. You have to enter the password twice for it to take affect, if they don't match you'll be told.
