2. Start tuxboxcomander
3.go to in /var/etc/ and open the file passwd
4.press 4 on remote to go into edit mode.
The first line is root:*****:0:0:root:/home/root:/bin/sh
where the ****** delete it (by using remote arrows to move cursor right and then pressing volume minus)
delete *** until upto :0:0:root

and press ok and exit -> save

the first line should look like this after the edit
root::0:0:root:/home/root:/bin/sh

then login with user root and password leave empty

you could telnet and change the empty password with your own so known can easily h*ck into your dm box.

I can't find tuxbox commander on gemini server!!!

you have to install the gemini 4.3 with the 3.9 you are not going to connect with the gemini server.when you install the 4.3 then press the blue button go on addons gemini server and then complete from there.
