Hi mate

Menu-Setup-service searching - motor

Tick Gotox and then enter your coordinate green button to save.

What was the problem then with not been able to load the image?

Do soft reboot

Menu-option5-reboot now?

Does it boot into image or does it go through the initial setup again?

If it goes into image

Menu-setup-service searching.

Choose manual scan with network ticked.

EDG is a good image but the one you mention is a backup image i recommend using the Base image.

are you sure its a password problem and not an ip problem, all new images are usually default username=root password=dreambox.

go to expert setup and check the network settings and ip address, tick the DHCP box save and reboot, go back to expert setup and you should see your true ip.
