Change your Dreambox password

Seem's like many users never change their password, and are using the standard combination, which is the same for every single Dreambox.

This way, we compromise our own AND sharing friends security, since ANYONE can acces and mess around with the Dreambox by knowing the DNS adress!

So please CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD FROM THE DREAMBOX!!!

It can be done in 2 ways:

1. Using the "puttytel" proggy, which can be obtained here: CLICK HERE

2. Doing it manually with a telnet session:

-Choose "Start" and "Run" in Windows, then enter "telnet your.dyndns.adress"
-Logon with your username and password (username is always "root", password is "dreambox" from standard)
-Enter "passwd" in the session
-Enter your new password twice

Password has to be min. 5 and max. 8 letters long, and can consist of UPPERCASE/lowercase letters and numbers!

!!!PLEASE DO THIS NOW, IF YOU HAVEN'T DONE IT ALREADY!!!
