Many Thanks for that.
I already tried the VNC feature and it runs well.
But it wouldn't be me if i don't try to find answers to the misbehaviour of the Webinterface Login. Could the script mess up the default Credentials admin / rigol?
Or is that behaviour a bug of the two latest FW versions or came with the browser updates of the last months or years. I can't remember when i tried the Webinterface but i am pretty sure, that it worked as expected.
First step would be that someone who patched the script tries the Webinterface Webcontrol feature and report whether the login workes or not. And then someone who didn't use the script. All on the latest FW.
This would help me a lot.
OK, I THINK I HAVE A SOLUTION FOR YOU
Instead of all this mucking around trying to brute force the password,
DO THIS...
Step 1: Use the PYTHON SCRIPT that i've attached,
it's the same one that you used to activate your scope
Step 2: Open Powershell or cmd.exe and type in the following command (we are going to SSH into the scope to do this)
python Rigol_MSO_LicensingUtility_2.10b.py -e 10.1.1.140
Where -e is the switch to SSH
Where 10.1.1.140 is my I.P. Address and you should insert your I.P. Address in it's place
Press ENTER
You will see a message at the bottom
Activating SSH...****SSH ACTIVATED****
Now..Open PuTTY.
Step 3. Open PuTTY
if you don't have it download it from here
https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.htmllikely iTs the 64bit X86 Installer
when you've done that, Open Putty
Under HOSTNAME/IP ADDRESS enter your I.P. Address of your scope
Confirm Port number is 22
Connection type SSH and TELNET
click OPEN at the bottom
Step 4. you will see
login as :
the logins are either
root (Username)
Rigol201 (Password)
if that doesn't work
rigol
rigol
NOTE : when it asks for the password THE CURSOR WILL NOT MOVE AND YOU WILL NOT SEE THE LETTERS,
DO NOT HIT BACKSPACE OF DELETE, Just enter the password and hit ENTER
if it works, you will see the diretory
<root@rigol>
Step 5. Just enter this command
echo "admin:rigol\n" > /rigol/data/user.conf
Press ENTER
Close your browser
Re open it
and in your browser
Type in your scope's I.P. Address
Login with
Username : admin
Password : rigol
WebControl should just open and you should see your scopes screen
LET ME KNOW HOW THAT GOES
NOTE : My scope didn't go into WebControl either (even from the factory)
this got me in and accessing WebControl
As you can see when it works for you, WebControl is much slower
