Telnet password help

Hi All,
I have installed BH 1.7.6 on a Vu+ duo for a friend. My problem is when I connect as root in telnet and use the following passwords ( password, dreambox, vuplus or blank ) I get a 'not found notice' or 'access denied' when using putty.
I can ftp to box no problem.
Thanks in advance.

Open a putty session and connect to the box with Telnet not SSH, and set a password using the command : passwd

Hi GeorgeXL,
I had just posted when I thought of the option of changing the password with the passwd command. This worked out fine.
Thanks again for willing to help an old timer.
