How can I change the root password on Open PLI image? I tried changing somewhere in the menu, but did not work, and the password that shows there is not working when I try to login with putty or ftp...hope someone can help.
1) Start FTP software and connection record (TuxBox / Total Commander)Switch
2) Directory and editing / var / etc / passwd (4: "Edit")
3) removing the encrypted password.
3.1) In the / etc / passwd file is the line: root: x: 0: 0: root: / root: / bin / sh or something as root: EIfidfjeSAEFKEOlasdf5ewr3rWEW: 0: 0: root: / root: / bin / sh
3.2) The Password field is x or the encrypted string EIfidfjeSAEFKEOlasdf5ewr3rWEW
3.3) Delete the x or the string The line is now following: root :: 0: 0: root: / root: / bin / sh
4) Save file and exit Notepad, Restore file on Dreambox
5) access with Telnet to the DB and with "root" user with no password
6) Better immediately assign a new password!
or
via Telnet / SSH via the command line with the command
passwd
the new password is entered twice blind
so do not scare if you appear on the Command Line no output
