is there any way of getting your username and password back for a dreambox 500s after losing it, without doing a full reset?

3 ways of resetting password..

Option 1.

Reset password with the remote:

1.install tuxbox commander fro addons menu
2. Start tuxboxcomander
3.go to /var/etc/ and open the file passwd
4.press 4 on the remote to enter EDIT mode
First line is: root:*****:0:0:root:/home/root:/bin/sh
erase ****** (this is done by pressing MOVE RIGHT and VOLUME DOWN button )
erase *** until :0:0:root

Press OK & Exit

after erasing, the line should look like this:
root::0:0:root:/home/root:/bin/sh

Now you can login with: Login: root og intet password


Option 2.

1.instal tuxbox commander from addons menu
2.Start tuxboxcomander
3.go to /var/etc/ and rename passwd to passwd_
4.go to /var/etc/ and rename passwd- to passwd

then you can use Login: root & password: dreambox


Option 3. telnet these commands.. haven't tested myself, just found the info somewhwere...

root:V26.Uf.kSvoYg:0:0::/:/bin/sh
sshd:*:65532:65534::/:/bin/false
ftp:*:65533:65534::/:/bin/false
nobody:*:65534:65534::/:/bin/false
--->>>>>>>>
root::0:0:root:/home/root:/bin/sh
