reset bios boot order while restarting to unkink the cd
probably a result of previous adventure

I took your drastic advice. I got the CD out rather than touching the bios. It did some strange things early on in the boot but seems OK. It has come to;
MyTV login:
As I worked through the setup I tried to steer clear of setting up any network stuff as I want this system to stand alone until I've got a lot of other thing done. If I need any file from the net I bring them in on another system and then move them across, hopefully, by flash card. At one point, though, it did ask for a name for the local box, which I assigned 'MyTV', then I think it asked for a domain name which I assigned 'MartinNet'. It also asked for a password. I never got one that it was happy with and it eventually came back with 'password failed' so I thought I was safe. Now, of course, it wants a 'login' and a 'password' and I have no idea what to do? I assume I'll have to reboot from CD, but what to do then? I must be able to get to the file where these are stored and find out what it is looking for?
