Hi,

I cannot log into my dbox2 to reflash with a new image. The password doesnt seem to be "dbox2" or "Dbox2" or anything similar. I've tried loads of variations suggestions. Is there a way to reset this without ftp'ing?

IP setting etc are fine (worked on another identical box). I've flashed the image on dboxes loads of times so i know how to do it. I'm pretty sure its a password problem. No idea what it could be.

Please help

Just Flash Via ifa
No need to know Id Pin or user..........Paul


Hi,

There are 2 methods to find the pincode on a dbox2

either ftp into var/tuxbox/config and view neutrino.conf, look for parentallock_pincode=####

the #### is the pincode.

If you want you can do it from the dbox
Choose Tuxbox Commander
var ok
tuxbox ok
config ok
scroll down to neutrino.conf ok
then scroll down to the line, it is in alphabetical order.

Thanks but I'm looking for the root password to ftp to the box not the parentallock_pincode. I know the pin.

Any other ideas?
