    Let's do it by steps:


    your text: "openeight 6.8 does not have a password"

    1- This image has password, that's guaranteed.


    Your text: "You can enter via telnet without a password and create one with the passwd command"

    2- I ask again, what command?


    Your text: "To set a root password, you can install the systemplugin 'setpasswd' from the feed."

    3- I say it again: I already installed the plugin enigma2-plugin-systemplugins-setpasswd_2.0_all, to get access to ( change root password ), now I have access but the image does not allow me to change the password-

    I repeat: Even using the plugin (enigma2-plugin-systemplugins-setpasswd_2.0_all), the image not let me change the password, it alwais gives an error.

    This is the worst image I have ever installed!

    I've already installed several images (OpenAtv, Openvix, OpenHDF, OpenHD, OpenSpa, Areadelsat, OpenPli, etc., etc., etc.,), and I've never had any problems with them, much less changing passwords.

    Download Clean raw version and add to it what you like

    The best version to add to the device is a raw version

    user /root password / openeight

    It's all about clean image

    If you don't like, don't use it

    I did a clean installation, I downloaded and installed the image directly from the options that the box gives, I tried with that data and it still gives an error!

    That's what I did!

    But you still haven't told me what the telnet command is?

    Or do you also not know which one this?

    I'm still waiting for you tell me which commmand telnet you use....

    Edited once, last by corpina ().

    It looks like you're doing something wrong or not completing the password change correctly.


    Are you satisfied if you change the password to "dreambox"?


    Can you access OpenEight files from an image in flash? .. (slot1 is preferred).

    You must mount the slot (on the SD-card) where OpenEight is installed.


    If everything is OK, edit the /etc/passwd file.

    The first line is:


    root:x:0:0:root:/home/root:/bin/bash


    Replace "x" with "$1$$34NPeumc9sBBCAw.oUaM80"

    The line will now become:


    root:$1$$34NPeumc9sBBCAw.oUaM80:0:0:root:/home/root:/bin/bash


    Save the passwd file and exit.

    The root password will change to dreambox.

    Another way:


    Download a fresh OpenEight image, like "openeight-6.8-sf8008-20230904_mmc.zip".

    Unzip it with 7-zip, open rootfs.tar.bz2 and go to /etc/passwd.

    Right click and edit it.

    Change the first line, as described in my previous post.

    Exit and save all changes.


    Install the image with root password "dreambox".
