I'm struggling with the same thing. I had an idea that I'm too scared to try. We know that the hash of the passwd- file is for "helpme". What if we just change the hash in the firmware upgrade .sw file to the hash with "helpme"? I'm just not sure how .sw files work. I'm guessing the length at least has to match, but one of the other partitions of the passwd file could be used as padding to make the files the same length. Anyone know if there's a chance this would work? I don't want to hose my dvr trying. In the meantime I'll be running john. Also, has anyone tried calling their manufacturer and asking for the password? I doubt that would work, but it's a lot easier than these other methods.
