username and password

VUUserM

Vu+ Newbie
hello,

i tried to configure dreamboxedit and can not connect because username and password are wrong.

i did some research and found out that the password on vu+ (i have zero) is always: "root" and password is not set. i tried it that way but it did not work.

than i read i could change the password with the plugin setpasswd. i did that. did not work.

at least i wondered if there is a problem with dreamboxedit itself and tried to connect with telnet.

after calling the ip of my vuzero i get:

OpenBlackHole 0.1 vuzero

vuzero login:

i tried to login with "root" and the changed password. did not work.
i deinstalled the plugin. are password settings set back with deinstallation?

in the end i wonder if open black hole uses an other username (not "root").

can anybody help me with that. is there any chance to find out the username and password?

many thanks.

By default:
========
User: root
password: ( leave this field blank and press return or enter on your keyboard )

If you using DCC and have limited connection ...
=============================
User: root
password: vuplus or dreambox

Note: don´t write the " "

thanks a lot.

i tried it with these passwords. didnt work.

and i do not use the "" signs while i log in. thanks. :)

if i have changed the password with setpasswd and deinstalled the plugin again, do you know if the last changed password still is active or does the deinstallation of the plugin set back the password to previous?

is it possible to change the username at all? i had some help with flashing the image. maybe the guy has changed the default username in his image he used. i will ask him too.

Did you change the default IP Address, in dreamboxedit, to match your VU+ IP Address?
Go into Tools, Options, enter your receivers IP Address, and save.
You also need to set up a new folder, on your PC's desktop, named Settings, default name, and location, you can change this in the options, if you wish.

little feedback:

what nunigaia wrote is everything you need to know for a default image.

my problem was that the guy who helped me has changed the username in his image. i flashed the box now on my own with a default OBH and it works fine.

thanks again to all.
