      usually it is user: root, and pass: dm or dreambox
      when you set it to factory defaults, it should reset.

              Sadly you will have to reflash the box with a clean image, all DM images have a username as 'root' and password 'dreambox' as default if not then someone has changed this via telnet

                  Similar problem here hxxp://www.satlover.eu/forum/satellite-discussion-english/45719-password-and-username-wrong.html

                  im planing to do this when i get the time

                  - Install and run TuxBox Commander plugin

                  - Change directory to edit /var/etc/passwd (type 4: "Edit")

                  - Remove the encrypted password.
                  In the file /etc/passwd is the line:
                  root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/sh
                  or something as
                  root:EIfidfjeSAEFKEOlasdf5ewr3rWEW:0:0:root:/root:/bin/sh
                  The password field is the x or the encrypted string
                  EIfidfjeSAEFKEOlasdf5ewr3rWEW
                  Delete the x or the whole string. The line now is:
                  root::0:0:root:/root:/bin/sh

                  - Save the file and exit

                  - Telnet to your DB with root user without password

                  - Change/Create immediately a new root password with password
                  try this
                  If my post was useful, please, use "Thanks" button

                      Install the plugin called TuXBox Commander (or equivalent).
                      It can be done via remote control (blu panel).
                      It will allow you to modify file /var/etc/passwd (i.e. the file where all user passwords are stored in an encrypted format).
                      You will find a line like this:
                      root:***************x:0:0:root:/roo t:/bin/sh
                      You have to delete the string ***************x so that new line will be
                      root::0:0:root:/roo t:/bin/sh
                      Reboot.

                      Now your box has no password.
