Obviously if you don't have root access you wont be able to FTP this plugin to the Dreambox. When run again the password is set back to whatever it was before the first run. When run, the attached plugin will change the root password to 'Dreambox'. īut if you find that access to Tuxbox Commander is password protected, then this is the method for you. There is another method of changing the root password here. you've forgotten the password or whatever, you can use this plugin. If you want to gain root access to your Dreambox.
