    :Linuxsat Open:I have a dreambox DM500S.


    Is blocked with username and password do not know.



    I need to know the name of the file to decrypt the entry in my dreambox.
    Just for my own use and for educational purposes.


    thanks for hosting this forum

    Go to launch TuxCom plugin (from Blue Panel) and browse to /var/etc and locate passwd file.
    Highlight on passwd file, press 4 on remote control to edit it.
    By now, you should see something like below:
    root:$1$$3er43323sBBCAw.ofBbt.:0:0::/:/bin/sh
    sshd:*:65532:65534::/:/bin/false
    ftp:*:65533:65534::/:/bin/false
    nobody:*:65534:65534::/:/bin/false


    Just edit the first line by removing additional so it becomes:
    root::0:0::/:/bin/sh
    sshd:*:65532:65534::/:/bin/false
    ftp:*:65533:65534::/:/bin/false
    nobody:*:65534:65534::/:/bin/false


    Save and Restart the decoder and you are done.

    This is an old thread, but...


    Is there any way to decrypt the password ?
    Not just reset it ?


    A million dollar question only asked by the " curious" .. or somebody trying to break into another stb without consent...
    so which one are you buddy ??
    Most would either take the predator route post #3 or simply reflash with fresh image..
