Reset Root Password, Plugin

If you want to gain root access to your Dreambox. you've forgotten the password or whatever, you can use this plugin.



But if you find that access to Tuxbox Commander is password protected, then this is the method for you.

When run, the attached plugin will change the root password to 'Dreambox'. When run again the password is set back to whatever it was before the first run.

Obviously if you don't have root access you wont be able to FTP this plugin to the Dreambox. The way around this is to mount a shared folder on your PC to the dreambox, then do a manuall plugin install on the dreambox, browse to the mounted share and pick it up from there.

Use at your own risk, This has only been tested on a DM600 with Gemini 4.5, other images may vary, but it should work with most dreambox images.

If you break something while logged in as root, its your own fault!


The board software will not allow me to upload a .gz file, so you'll have to extract the plugin from the ZIP file before attempting to install.

What does it do? It just replaces the passwd file with one where 'dreambox' is the root password and stores the original elsewhere. If you run it a second time it swaps back the old file, setting the password back to the one you don't know.
