You can try installing Tux Commander plugin from addons menu and then using it to delete the password in /var/etc/passwd
Inside of the file looks something like this.

root:password:0:0::/:/bin/sh

It might work if you delete password bit and save the file. Then again you might end up with no way to connect even if you find out the password.

Only ideas!
Or you should uncheck DHCP in expert/comunicatoion setup if checked or give the dreambox ip with checked DHCP into ipAdress to openDBedit FTP configuration..or..firewall...

No, it doesn't effect your cccam. You should be able to connect with just username: root if everything goes right. But you can end up not being able to connect to ftp or telnet if something goes wrong. But it shouldn't have any effect on your cccam.
Still hope guys who sold you the box are willing to offer some kind of guarantee.

Hi rocknroll i have installed tux. now how to change login password? can i remove or dissable password with remote control or with computer?

 

[Rocknroll]

TuxCom shows you commands available at the bottom of the screen. You navigate to file I mentioned earlier, edit it and remove the password bit you have now and leave it empty to have that line looks something like:

root::0:0::/:/bin/sh

but be warned that I haven't tried this in a long time, and not willing to test on my box as I'd have to flash it again. I might be wrong as to what that line should look like, but I am sure it can be done.

You weren't supposed to completely remove the line but rather delete only password bit. Then you don't need password to login, it will let you in after you enter username.
You can't create new password by editing that file as it stores the password in encrypted form.

Yes i have remove complete line. now its not possible to bring back?

first i have edited like this root::0:0::/:/bin/sh but i cannot log to DCC it say login failure then i remove the line and save. now DCC say following error,

You can try to bring the line back by editing the file again with tux com and writing the whole line in it is original place to have:
root::0:0::/:/bin/sh

and after you are done try telneting to the box from windows command prompt rather then with dcc.

Without the need to access the Dreambox satellite decoder from PC, users will need to install TuxCom plugin to access sub directories on where the Passwd file is located. Assuming that you already have TuxCom plugin installed, follow below steps to access the Passwd file for modification.

Go to launch TuxCom plugin (from Blue Panel) and browse to /var/etc and locate passwd file.
Highlight on passwd file, press 4 on remote control to edit it.
By now, you should see something like below:
root:$1$$3er43323sBBCAw.ofBbt.:0:0::/:/bin/sh
sshd:*:65532:65534::/:/bin/false
ftp:*:65533:65534::/:/bin/false
nobody:*:65534:65534::/:/bin/false

Just edit the first line by removing additional so it becomes:
root::0:0::/:/bin/sh
sshd:*:65532:65534::/:/bin/false
ftp:*:65533:65534::/:/bin/false
nobody:*:65534:65534::/:/bin/false

Save and Restart the decoder and you are done.
By now, you should be able to login as root (under username field) either via FTP or Telnet without any password required.
