For whatever reason, there may be a pin code set on your dreambox. Sometimes this is done to keep nosey people changing settings and messing things up. It’s also used to block certain channels if you don’t want the kids accessing them (if you know that I mean).
If you forget that pin, usually you would flash an image that you know doesn’t have the pin code set.
Or…you can use the tuxbox commander plugin to get the pin. Most images have this plugin and it’s accessable via the plugins menu, usually yellow or blue button.
Go to /var/tuxbox/config/enigma…
There’s a file called config
View it and look for lines like…
i:/elitedvb/pins/parentallock=
i:/elitedvb/pins/setuplock=
These are hex numbers. Use your windows calculator in Scientific mode, click on Hex, enter the value in your file (last 4 numbers, not with the zeros in front of them), click Dec and that will be your pin.
There you go, that was easy!
