Telnet Login - admin credentials fail
Dear all,
I managed to get my Kobo basically running again. However, with telnet activated in NickelMenu, I can yet connect to my kobo, but the credentials "admin"/admin and "kobo"/kobo both fail. (Login incorrect) Previously, admin/admin has always been working fine. Any hints, what I am doing wrong? How could I change the credentials? Is there also a way to connect via SERIAL Com port? Might be more stable... Thanks for any hints! |

If you have updated your firmware, you may no longer have telnet capability. However, you do get SSH in the newer firmware. To check if you have SSH capability, look for a file named ssh-disabled in the .kobo directory. To enable SSH, rename that file to ssh-enabled and you should now be able to do an SSH connection with root as the username. The first time, you will be prompted to enter the password. I've quoted the contents of the ssh-disabled file below:
