when you highlight passwd do not press ok but press 4 on the remote so that you enter edit mode, if you want to restore the password you can always copy and than put back in (var/etc/passwd)

have a read of post 17 from this thread, that explains how you can reset then use telnet commands, if not you will have to reflash with dreamup and a null modem cable.

I 'm very curious why someone just can run TuxBox Commander
but someone including me can't(password ask).

Reset or Dreamup is not answer ,i think.


Thread goal is to change root password/access root account.

Atlest just share your idea/method.

This password for Tuxbox Commander is really baffling. I've heard of it before but am still confused about it.
Anyway, what DM Model have you got? What Image are you running?

Hi Brummie...my question was for Teerayoot who has this problem about being asked for a password by Tuxbox Commander when trying to access it to try to reset his Dreambox password.

Regards my friend.

Hi satfoot.
Thank for interest in my(also others) problem.

I'm using Dm500
Software Version :
release 4.0.0.27.08.2007


Kernel : Linux 2.6.9

Tuxcom 1.16 (Tuxbox Commader)


I think we really just need some file editor/
if Tuxbox do not working /
we can switch to other File Editing tool,but i do not found any other editor on Gemini-Server.
