    ViX Telnet password?

    Trying to access the telnet interface so that I can copy the contents of a usb drive to the internal HD.

    Anyone know the login?

    thanks

    in telnet, to change the units password, you need to login ( ip addy ) login as root
    then type this passwd
    you will be prompted to type your new password, do so, but no text will be seen, once done, hit return
    and repeat, a confirmation notice will appear

    baz
    Units; VU+Ultimo/duo/DM800/7020HD/tm9100

    1 fixed dish, and 1 motorized 1mtr dish

    From when I last flashed with the image and had to telnet / FTP in it was just a matter of entering root at the login and that was it. You haven't installed some back up image have you - there are some floating around the web purporting to be VIX originals.

    what u need to look at is are you actually telnet'ing in or ssh'ing in

    if telnet then blank will be fine

    if ssh then it wont let you log in with a blank password

    Aha! found the problem! I didn't realise that as soon as you ftp onto the box it takes whatever you put in as the FTP password as the new password for everything.

    Thanks for the replies.
