                  Telnet to the box login and type in passwd it will ask you for new password type it in hit enter and it will ask you to repeat the new password

                  THE TRUTH
                  The Hillsborough Independent Panel. 12/09/12
                  Today's report is black and white.The Liverpool fans were not the cause of the disaster.
                  The panel has quite simply found 'no evidence' in support of allegations of 'exceptional levels of drunkenness, ticketlessness or violence among Liverpool fans' and 'no evidence that fans had conspired to arrive late at the stadium' and 'no evidence that they stole from the dead and dying'.

                      As BD says above telnet to your box.. if you are running Vista or Win7 you'll have to enable the Telnet client as for some reason MS turned it off after XP..

                      On your PC -> Start -> Control Panel -> Programs -> Turn Windows Features On/Off

                      new window will come up, click on the Telnet boxes to see a tick appear.. save

                      PC will now reboot:

                      Start Menu -> Run

                      type in:

                      tenet and dreambox ip..

                      eg:

                      telnet 192.168.1.2

                      a DOS window will now open

                      after dreambox login: type root
                      then enter your password..

                      once logged in type passwd (see BD's post for the rest)
