I took your drastic advice. I got the CD out rather than touching the |
| 11 |
bios. It did some strange things early on in the boot but seems OK. It |
| 12 |
has come to; |
| 13 |
MyTV login: |
| 14 |
As I worked through the setup I tried to steer clear of setting up any |
| 15 |
network stuff as I want this system to stand alone until I've got a lot |
| 16 |
of other thing done. If I need any file from the net I bring them in on |
| 17 |
another system and then move them across, hopefully, by flash card. |
| 18 |
At one point, though, it did ask for a name for the local box, which I |
| 19 |
assigned 'MyTV', then I think it asked for a domain name which I |
| 20 |
assigned 'MartinNet'. |
| 21 |
It also asked for a password. I never got one that it was happy with and |
| 22 |
it eventually came back with 'password failed' so I thought I was safe. |
| 23 |
Now, of course, it wants a 'login' and a 'password' and I have no idea |
| 24 |
what to do? |
| 25 |
I assume I'll have to reboot from CD, but what to do then? I must be |
| 26 |
able to get to the file where these are stored and find out what it is |
| 27 |
looking for? |
