The original image is PLi Jade 20090627. I had tried reinstalling other images and by installing Jade 20080718 it is unlock but all the channels are blank. So I went into var/etc, var_flash/etc folder to change the 1st line to “ root::0::0::/:/bin/sh “ in the Passwd file. When I come to var_init/etc folder, I just can’t change it. I tried many times but it just can’t be change. So I had to leave it alone, then i install a new Jade 20090627 image again, it didn’t work, it is locked again. Whenever I go to setup, it will ask for 4 digit numbers password. Please Help!

Try disconnecting the Antenna cable
Startup the box. Goto setup , disable the password protection for menu

Second method to tray

If I understand correctly (not sure about that), our friend is after the Set-Up Pin for his DM500.
If so this may help:-
Open Dreambox Control Centre.
Click on FTP
Goto /var/tuxbox/config/enigma
There you should find a file named “config”
Right click on it
Click on View, then on Edit and on Search and paste this Line:-
i:/elitedvb/pins/setuplock=
At the end of this Line, you will find different numbers/letters
Example:-
i:/elitedvb/pins/setuplock=000001cf
The value 000001cf is in HEX and should be converted to Decimal
In this example, HEX 000001cf is equivalent to DEC 463
So here the Set-Up Lock PIN is 0463
Note that your Set-Up Lock PIN will always have four digits.

To convert hex to decimal
