how to passcode protect the setup on Black Hole 2.0.4

belmont · Jul 8th 2013

I am trying to find out how to passcode protect the setup on Black Hole 2.0.4.
I created a parental code but this is still allowing me to enter the setup , services, system, etc.

Is the passcode protection on settings working on Black Hole 2.0.4 ? Thanks

Note on Universes setup:

By clicking ok you will now access the Universe Configuration menu (Black Hole home doesn't need a config)
You will have 3 options:

Universe access protected
Universe access pin
Force reboot in Black hole.

Setting the first option to Yes, will mean that the Universe will be protected with a pin
If you do not set a pin the default pin will be 0000
Setting force reboot in Black Hole means the image will not boot into this Universe (useful for a pin protected universe, to be sure that nobody can access it, if you forgot to switch to another dimension before you poweroff).
Note: the Universes pin and config are reset by a big bang

Just something you might try out...
my UNO lives in Avalon but restarts in Black Hole ;)

okay guys i know these above, but I am asking how to password protect the receiver installation menu, for eg, changing languages, Sat and search functions. I want to use the box in a guest house and i dont want my guests play around with its settings.

simple answer is you cant and no team is likely to introduce such a feature as it will no doubt be abused by CS traders.

Agree with the reasons not to add such a feature but maybe these lot already have although i do not have the image running at the moment to check.

Changes to VTI 4.0

- [VTIPanel] add simple password protection
- [VTIPanel] add option to remove entries from main menu

The above sounds like what you are looking to do belmont?

what a pity, my several years old Golden Interstar GI-S 801 FTA Xpeed knows this with the factory firmware....

well, maybe with the VTI i can hide those installation specific menus. I have never used VTI, but if it works like this, I think I will change.
The weakness of the Black Hole is that a user can play around with it even with the Black Hole, basic universe. I am a unix guy, i would like to add more security.

Just trying the latest VTI image myself, this one will do exactly what you are looking for buddy.
