user password problem for D500 clone

[redout]

Just got a D500 clone and have opened DCC and Flash wizard to flash an image on it but neither recognise

root
dreambox

DCC keeps telling me FTP connected but Telnet not connected.

Telnet Disconnected
Telnet login incorrect!

and flash wizard states

unable to connect to ip address
invalid login or password
please check connection parameters


Any help would be appreciated - as I said this is a new clone and never been used. Its an iDBox500

reset to factory settings,, it will reset the credentials to defaults again
root:dreambox

[iKay]

or if u dont want to factory reset,, do this:

1) Install and run TuxBox Commander plugin

2) Change directory to edit /var/etc/passwd (type 4: "Edit")

3) In the file /etc/passwd is the line:
root:XXXXXXX:0:0:root:/root:/bin/sh
the XXXXXXX string is the encrypted password

4) Delete the encrypted password string. The line should be:
root::0:0:root:/root:/bin/sh

5) Save the file and exit
