thanxPassword? What the hell password is on a dish network box? What are you trying to get into where it's asking you for a password?

Also, try '0000' as the password.

Also, what is the box model you have? I.E. - 331

Here is something I found off of another forum... good luck with all that!

This will reset your IRD to the factory settings. Your EEPROM will need to be unlocked for it to work. Turn on the IRD - Go to the memory dump by pressing the following keys on your remote....MENU, 6, 3, INFO, BROWSE (right arrow), THEME (left arrow). a display of the memory dump should come up on the screen. Once you see this, press the TV./VIDEO button, then press the IRD's front power button, or unplug for 10 seconds.. This will erase all the memory in the EEprom, to include the password that's locks channels.

The object in the first part of the sequence above (Menu, 6, 3) is to get to the Diagnostic Screen. Some units may require a different sequence to get there. Use whatever sequence dictates to get to the Diagnostics Screen. Also, sometimes you may have to push the buttons Info, Right, Left, in quick sequence.

Let's say you don't want to erase password, but rather find out what it is. This way you could be watching those channels your not supposed to be, and no one would know the difference. If this is the case, once you get to the memory dump, don't hit the TV./Video button. Instead, scroll down in the memory dump until you get to the line 01C0. Look at the 3rd group of digits. The first 4 are the password. It is reversed by 2's. (I.e. If the password is 1234, it would be displayed in the Dump in the 3rd group of digits as 3412.

DishPlayer MASTER RESET with the IRD off press 32768 the lights on the IRD should flash to confirm it took it.

Some of the new receivers reset by holding down the power button on the receiver for a few seconds. Below is a picture of a memory dump on screen. It also shows the password line 01C0. The password is 4882.
