The box has its own password.
You have to use this to access the box.
You can set a new password using the remote then use it to access the box via putty or filezilla
 
I'm not home, I'm having brekky in the caf, but from memory
Menu, setup, system, network, password setup
Hi mate yes found the password and did a new one this enabled me to get putty working and i put grogbuild on,but still cant ftp to the box says no connection and the ip is still unconfirmed does that make sense?

Not really although I had something similar a few years ago.
Unplug the box and router.
Wait five minutes.
Power up the router.
Wait five minutes.
Power up the box.
Check that the box has a network connection and see if you can FTP to it

Have you got any switches etc on the network,?
Are you using a static IP or DHCP,?

If you connect the box directly to the router as above, the problem must be with laptop/pc connection.
Remove the 8 port bridge and just connect the box and pc

Have you checked in the Lan port of the box to see if any damage or debris like fluff etc, give it a good look over and clean it if required.
Also try a different lan cable

If you flashed Grogbuild earlier today, webif must be working?
When you said FileZilla won't connect do you mean it comes up with a box saying a warning about FTP over TLS or similar?
This is normal, you just ignore it or click ok and it connects
 
+ new images on box you now have to enter password into filezilla.

In network handy to run test to see all green ticks and box has a working box ip.

I'd say you have an error in your IP addressing,
Are you sure you're switch hasn't have you a secondary network,?
have you set the second IP,?
There is another setting too you may need to change, the easiest way is to use DHCP, check it works, IP confirmed, then go into network settings, make a note of what they ALL are, then go to static, enter them ALL as exactly in DHCP mode, except the LAST 3 digits of your IP address, change those to your static address

hope its ok to ans you 3 guys on this post. Firstly thanks for replies so pabloescaban yes flashed grog yesterday but have to change the port to 23 with filezilla i get ECCONN REFUSED and FTP connect skt #1672 to ip address port 21 can"t establish connection

Cactikid; in network test all the boxes have green ticks but still ip address unconfirmed

Steptoe; not good at this but what do you mean by secondary network? and i havent set a second ip. I changed to DHCP but the ip stayed the same as the static and still unconfirmed
Dont know whether this helps guys but thanks for your help. Quick question is there any other way i can get to put my details into vpn manager as cant add those in app itself
Cheers Chrisal
