How to change the password from a locked Dreambox.

(Lost Pasword on a dreambox).

 

All you need is the Tuxbox Commander Plugin (Download on all Gemini, Nabilo and other images).

 

With gemini image:

Via Blue Panel, ADDONS, select the Gemini Server and select PLUGINS and download Tuxbox Commander.

Once thats installed you can access it through Blue Panel, PLUGINS (Tools).

Go to var/etc

Select the passwd file. Hit 4 to edit it.

You'll see this:

root:$1$$3er43323sBBCAw.ofBbt.:0:0::/:/bin/sh
sshd:*:65532:65534::/:/bin/false
ftp:*:65533:65534::/:/bin/false
nobody:*:65534:65534::/:/bin/false



Your root password will obviously be different to the above. What you need to do is replace the first line with this:

root:$1$$34NPeumc9sBBCAw.oUaM80:0:0::/:/bin/sh


This makes your password: dreambox
If you write
root::0:0::/:/bin/sh
then you dont need a password

After your are logged in, then you can change your password with the "passwd" command .

 

If your Image has not the Tuxbox Commander Plugin, then go to the expert menu and make "factory defaults", but all your settings are clear now and you have lost all your config files.
