You set your own password. Then use it to login via putty.
Go to password setup in menu and make it simple, like 1234.
Save.
Then use that to login.
You may need to close down putty and reopen it again

 

[Ferret.]

Menu-system-network -password setup

Change it in there.

Power off the box, then close down putty completely.
Power on the box.
Open putty and try login again

Try Just using a 4 digit password like 1111 (not 5 digit 12345)
Open putty and make sure you enter the ip address of your box (not your router ip address)
Check connection type is ssh and is showing as telnet
Click open
then login: type root and press enter
then enter your password and press enter
then paste your script and press enter

should work

There is no indication on screen that you are entering a password. This is a security feature.
Just enter the password and press enter.

You aren't listening.
When you put the password in telnet/putty, nothing appears.
This is normal.
Just type in your password and click enter and it will open up

Do as everyone has said , when you type your pass word in , you don't see the key press output on the screen,

So just type it and press enter

 

[weimaraner95]

How did you go , all sorted?
