Reset 2nd hand Amino set top box

[frank.leggett]

Hi

I have just purchased 2 Amino 110 from ebay to experiment with a IPTV. The STB's come up with the Splash image of East Thames TV. This no longer exists and it says it can't find the requested URL. Is there some way to reset the box so I can change the URL it looks for to my network.

is it possible to telnet into your stb's? Try:

telnet your_stb_ip_address
user : root
pass: root2root

in /mnt/nv/chnls.txt edit the channels for your own needs

Thanks for your reply,

By telnet do you mean connecting the STB to a computer via the serial input.

I have tried to telnet the box but after I enter the username: "root" the password prompt comes up but won't let me enter any text in. do you know of any other way to get into the box. I have 2 of them which I bought from ebay as new.

the password prompt does not show what you type in... did you try with "root2root" as password?

[frank.leggett]

I did type root2root and it came back incorrect login. It may be that the login and password were altered by the previous owner (East Thames TV) and as I can't find any evidence of their existance, I can't speak to them.

Ok, then you need to reflash the boxes with a new image.. or you could try this keyboard:

But, I have never used a keyboard for STB's myself so I do not know what it enables you to do..

Also, check out this thread:

I already have the infared keyboard but when I go to the configuration menu it asks for username and password. I have tried the default one "root", "root2root" with no avail. How can I reflash the unit without having to enter the password.

[baldribus]

hmm... have u tried admin/leaves as usr/pwd ?

u need the IR keyboard to configure the aminet110. Get the keyboard and press ALT-M to enter the STB configuration. Factory default password when you press ALT-M is 'leaves'

[frank.leggett]

Hi

I have tried to get in via the Management password using the IR Keyboard. I've tried the following passwords
admin
administration
root
root2root
leaves
password

I have also tried to telnet the unit using the above words, with no avail. I have contacted both Amino and the company they were issued to but neither would provide me with infomation. They just confirmed the units had not been stolen.

Has anyone got any more ideas.

Thanks
Frank

Hi again

I have now learned that it was supplied by Dell to a company called East Thames Group who have passed the units on when the license expired. East Thames won't talk to me as I bought it on ebay. The ebay seller bought it from someone else and Dell won't talk to me without a customer no. In the meantime I am no closer to resetting it without a username and password.

You need this info to get access to the box:

Hello
I have several noob questions so that's why im not creating a newtopic.
I can't find out what is my Amino 110 ip address. I tried to make address scan from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255 but i get only computers.
So, how can i get amino's IP?

And another question: this pdf (http://www.uninorte.edu.co/divisiones/i ... Rev_14.pdf) says "Set up the AmiNET STB as instructed. After installation, the Main Amino Web page should be displayed on the monitor.". I don't understand, where it is instructed? How to access to this web-interface?

[Nikarus1]

Hello? No answer for several days...
Can you at least tell me keywords to search info...

[flimark]

hello Nikarus1 ,

i'm facing the same problem, as i can't enter to the initial web page of amino?

I have the same question: How to access to this web-interface?, how can i get amino's IP?

please if you get any answer, please replay to me

[flimark]

hi Nikarus,

i have the same problem, if you get any replay please help me.

You need the aminocom remote and keyboard.
goamt.com has them in the United States.

Then you can setup the unit's IP either static or to use DHCP.

the STB try to restart by recovery image but problem network. Then the stb can't reboot.

thank you

Once you have deleted/corrupted the software image and the STB is in recovery mode looking for new software - you cannot reset it to defaults. That recovery mode is the STB trying to get 'good' software back into it - so you need to make a software image available to it or get it reflashed by your provider.
