[Solved] Zgemma H9.2S Connection Issue: Can't Access DCC, PuTTY & OpenWebif after Password Reset Attempt

Best answers

How can I recover access to Zgemma H9.2S after resetting the password removed the /etc/passwd entries and now DCC, PuTTY, FTP, and Telnet no longer connect?

Reflash or re-upload the image, because the current system/password setup is broken; after that, set the root password again from the receiver menu or via telnet. One reply recommends going in with the remote to System → Network → Password and setting a new password, or flashing the image again if that does not work [#19518306] Another says OpenATV 6.4 uses the root account and the password can be set from the GUI path Setup → System → Expert settings → Network → Password → setup your own password, then reboot [#19527355] The same user later confirmed that uploading a new system fixed it [#19840120] They then opened telnet, used the root login, ran `passwd`, and were able to enter a new password successfully [#19840120] If you have a backup of the previous image/settings, restoring that is also suggested as the easier recovery path [#19525580]

    Hello, I have a problem, I wanted to reset the password in Zgemma h92s because I did not know the password and found an advice as in the added photo, I did, i.e. I deleted the x in the link after restarting the tuner, I can no longer connect to DCC, PuTTy or openwebif, i.e. I go from the tuner's IP to openwebif but telnet or FTP no longer connects. All lines in / etc / passwd have disappeared. Now I can not connect to the tuner in any way to add new picons, for example. And it was supposed to help keep only root without a password. I also noticed that since then, after rebooting, it takes the tuner 5 mins to surprise with the channels, which always took a minute. Any suggestions?

    I have this tuner, but as I immediately uploaded HYPERION 8 and for me it is the best :)
    see if the following credentials work:
    login: root
    password: pteam

    Basically then you have to follow the new system. Or, if you thought, restore the one from a backup. Then you have it easier.

    In openatv 6.4 login root, you set the password in gui, I actually did that once and I had no problem with the connection.

    You set the root password from the GUI menu:

    Setup menu System Network Password Setup Enter new password

    Tuner restart

    I will join the topic as long as I can.
    I have the same Zgemma, I put OpenPli 8.0 on a fresh system from the developer's side.
    I set up wifi, the network test is ok, everything is green. And that's so much good because I can't connect in DCC or Total Comander for nothing.
    I set up a Zgemma profile with a password in DCC, although I did not do it for Vu and it connects in a flash.
    DCC search IP option does not even find Zgemma's IP.

    If he does not find zgemmy, maybe he has a problem with the net?
    From what I can see, DCC looks up addresses in the local network.
    I use a different software to search for devices in the LAN

    Take a look at its IP, if you have a computer on the same network, ping

    Type in cmd then ping 192.168.178.23

    there should be something like this:
    Reply from 192.168.178.23: bytes = 32 time = 2ms TTL = 64


    If it is like above, you are connected with Zgemma.

    A password must be set in open PLI

    menu> setup> system> expert settings> network> password> setup your own password here for ftp & ssh> reboot.

    Thanks, I'll do after work.

    What password are you talking about on OpenPli? For me, the> network is Lan or Wlan, when I enter one of them, these are network settings, nothing about the password.

    Finally, I connected the ethernet, and even the DCC cable does not find Zgemma. Massacre.
    Is it possible that this was a problem in the router settings?

    PS, in the router settings there was an option "The active wireless devices displayed below may communicate with each other" I put on on.

    now there is such a connection:

    How do you log into the system? Are you sure you are entering the correct root login?

    Exactly, I had a bad net because I could download plugins.
    The problem was my combination with the login and password (I was suggested by the opinions from the net)
    I restored the root login (changed it) and only gave my password.

    So you initially misled by not following the rules and not providing information about the change of login. Everything worked, but it did not log into the tuner. The system always requires logging in to the root account.

    It helped to upload the new system and set the password in telnet, so I entered the telnet name "root" as the password, I entered "passwd" and I could enter my password. Thanks.

FAQ

TL;DR: If ping returns bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=64, your box is reachable; "A password must be set in open PLI". Fix DCC/PuTTY/FTP by setting a root password in the GUI or via Telnet, then reboot. This FAQ is for Zgemma H9.2S/OpenATV/OpenPLi users who lost console/FTP access after password changes. [Elektroda, LACKY, post #19539027]

Why it matters: It quickly restores secure shell/FTP access so you can manage plugins, picons, and backups without reflashing.

Quick Facts

How do I fix “OpenWebif works but DCC/PuTTY/FTP won’t connect” on my Zgemma H9.2S?

On the receiver, open System > Network > Password and set a new password. New Enigma2 images require this. If it still fails, reflash the image or restore a backup. Use the login “root” when prompted by DCC, PuTTY, or FTP clients. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #19518306]

What’s the default login for Enigma2, and should I use it?

Use the root account. "The system always requires logging in to the root account." Keep the login as root and set your own strong password for network services. This avoids failed logins in DCC, PuTTY, and FTP tools. [Elektroda, tomaszlonski, post #19544290]

How do I set the root password in OpenATV 6.4 from the GUI?

OpenATV exposes a password tool in the menu. Use this 3-step path:
  1. Menu > Setup > System > Network > Password Setup.
  2. Enter a new password for root.
  3. Restart the tuner to apply. This enables authenticated FTP/SSH/Telnet connections. [Elektroda, LACKY, post #19527355]

How do I set or reset the password in OpenPLi 8 for FTP/SSH?

OpenPLi requires a password before network logins work. "A password must be set in open PLI." Use: Menu > Setup > System > Expert settings > Network > Password. Set your password for FTP and SSH, then reboot. This restores console and file transfer access. [Elektroda, LACKY, post #19539027]

Can I set a new password using Telnet, and what command should I use?

Yes. After flashing or when Telnet is available, log in as root. Run the command passwd and enter your new password when prompted. The original poster resolved access by flashing a fresh system and setting the password via passwd over Telnet. [Elektroda, 78chrismajewski, post #19840120]

DCC can’t find my Zgemma on the network. What should I try first?

Ensure your PC and Zgemma are on the same LAN. Check the tuner’s IP in its network settings and ping it from your computer. DCC scans local addresses only, so also consider using another LAN scanner to discover devices. [Elektroda, LACKY, post #19538954]

Could router client isolation stop DCC/FTP/SSH from seeing my box?

Yes. If your router isolates wireless clients, discovery and FTP/SSH may fail. Enabling the setting that allows wireless devices to communicate with each other restored connectivity for a user with the same model. Check and adjust that router option. [Elektroda, tracer10, post #19539159]

I edited /etc/passwd and lost FTP/Telnet access. What symptoms should I expect?

OpenWebif may still load via the IP, but Telnet and FTP refuse connections. You might be unable to add picons. One user reported boot time growing from about 1 minute to roughly 5 minutes after the change. Avoid deleting passwd entries. [Elektroda, 78chrismajewski, post #19516447]

Will reflashing fix login lockouts or a broken password database?

Yes. If passwords are corrupted or access is lost, install a fresh system image. Alternatively, restore a working backup. This brings back clean credentials and normal access paths for management. [Elektroda, Przem188, post #19525580]

What credentials work on HYPERION 8 for Zgemma H9.2S?

Use login root and password pteam. These credentials are specific to Hyperion 8 builds and allow initial access, after which you should change the password. [Elektroda, LACKY, post #19522832]

Network tests are green, but DCC/Total Commander still fail. What’s a common cause?

Using the wrong login caused failed connections for a user. Restoring the login to root and setting only a new password fixed DCC and file transfers. Ensure you kept the root account unchanged. [Elektroda, tracer10, post #19543905]

How do I quickly verify connectivity before troubleshooting credentials?

Ping the tuner from your PC. A normal reply looks like: Reply from 192.168.x.x: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=64. If you get replies, the device is reachable, and you can focus on credentials or service settings next. [Elektroda, LACKY, post #19539027]
