    after much surfing..i found this site http://www.dreamboxtips.com/


    If you forget that pin, usually you would flash an image that you know doesn’t have the

    pin code set.

    Or…you can use the tuxbox commander plugin to get the pin. Most images have this

    plugin and it’s accessable via the plugins menu, usually yellow or blue button.

    Go to /var/tuxbox/config/enigma…

    There’s a file called config

    View it and look for lines like…

    i:/elitedvb/pins/parentallock=
    i:/elitedvb/pins/setuplock=

    These are hex numbers. Use your windows calculator in Scientific mode, click on Hex,

    enter the value in your file (last 4 numbers, not with the zeros in front of them), click Dec

    and that will be your pin.

    or better still flash it with an image that has no pin..such as dw2.0
