I can confirm the 585v7 BeBox is JTAG locked to BE - it is after all only leased to you

Well, updating it to the O2 firmware BatBoy suggested above appears to have bricked it!

I can connect to the O2 interface, but any attempt to connect to the 'Thomson Gateway' to upload a template or upgrade/downgrade the firmware requires a login. The Administrator / Serial # doesn't work, nor do all the other combinations tried on various forums.

Thanks BatBoy

I thought the user is SuperUser?

as in: username "SuperUser". The password is either "O2Br0ad64nd" or the serial number of your router (printed on its underside, excluding the bit in brackets)

I also tried the generic firmware that you provided the link to, and now i cannot login - i also have tried the usual combinations of passwords, and your "SuperUser" suggestion - sadly none of them working

I'm not having a go at anyone, i understood what it meant when you said that the upgrade is performed "at your own risk" - just wondering if anyone has found out the username / password combination for the linked firmware???

Thanks in anticipation.

SuperUser is a feature of O2-modified firmwares. It contains all the generic options for Administrator that have been removed in those firmwares.

IIRC the login name for generic fw on the 585 is the admin or administrator, maybe with the initial "a" capitalised. Password will be blank or "password" I think.

My bog standard 585 is somewhere half way across the loft sorry.

can you try logging into it via telnet

also this thread on o2 may help

Yes even after doing a factory reset and installing generic firmware the login will remain either as Administrator or admin with a 585 v7 (I'm talking about ex-Tiscali and ex-Plusnet branded ones here though.)

wasn't really expecting anyone to respond to the thread that's a couple of months old.

Ok all tried and failed (username first):

Administrator - [blank]
administrator - [blank]
Admin - [blank]
admin - [blank]
Administrator - [Serial Number]
administrator - [Serial Number]
Admin - [Serial Number]
admin - [Serial Number]
SuperUser - O2Br0ad64nd

all using Internet Explorer 10

so if it's not too much trouble how do i telnet in? to change the user/ password?

Thanks again.

Problem with telnet from Windows Command Prompt is that you will still need a user name log-in and perhaps a password which isn't much different than using the browser.

Although I guess there could be issues with IE10....

You could try telnet 192.168.1.254 from Windows Command Prompt and you may be lucky

Have your tried whatever userid and password you had set before you re-flashed the box?
