All of a sudden it seems to have been a change in the ftp and/or telnet password. I'm running build 721, and I've always just used the default, as I'm not online on a regular basis with my STB. Now I can't telnet the box, and I can't ftp it... It doesn't reckognise any password.

How could this be..?

The only way a password could get there is if some one placed it there, either in person or remotely, there is just no other explanation.

I tried to telnet the box yesterday, and it just wouldn't let me in. Today I tried with ftp, and same story again. I'm the only one here, and I've not changed anything since last time I was logged on to the box via ftp, except from upgrading the software.

Strange... If I restore from an older (couple of weeks) old image backup, will that be of any help do you think..?

if that earlier backup has the original password then yes but i would be asking how it was changed in the first place, personally i would setup from scratch change all passwords including on the router as it's likely your's has been hacked into hence the password change.

Will do... I can see the logic, but it feels strange, as there's no gain in hacking into my system...

have you any portforwarding set up from your router to the box?

By the way; I'm restoring an image directly from my harddrive. The TV-screen reads:
"Reflash in progress. Please wait until your Vu+ Duo reboots. This may take a few minutes"

Can anyone say something about how many minutes..? It has been like this for about 20 minutes...

all depends on image updating from, older image = more updates.
plugins installed, if you've picons installed from the feeds & so on.

Updating picons from the feeds can take up to 30 minutes.

Not to much older, build 715, 45 minutes now...

Hmm, that doesn't sound right.

What you can do is power off/on and update via telnet; that way you can see what is actually happening.

Restoring a image from within the image manager usually takes no more than 3 minutes for me, but i dont have a lot of plugins or picons to restore.
