There are cases that the trick with the tux commander don't works.
Maybe there are differences between the images.
In these cases, flashing the box is the only way.

You can still try with putty and serial port:

- connect your dm500 with a serial/null cable to pc with power off
- connect putty and use serial option (change serial port speed in putty to 115200) to connect to your dm and hit open . If using Hyperterminal set com port properties to: Bits per Second=115200 ;Data bits=8 ;Parity=none ;Stop bits=1 ; Flow control =Xon/Xoff
- turn on dm and you will see a few messages during boot process

hit control x (be very quick) repeatedly until the boot is at the following prompt...

Linux/PPC load:

now type

console=null root=/dev/mtdblock5 rootfstype=squashfs ro console=ttyS0,115200 single

press enter

when you have command prompt ( / #) type

mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock/1 /var

press enter

now type the command "passwd" to set a new password
