Introducction

well for the new people telnet is this according to wikipedia

Telnet (teletype network) is a network protocol used on the Internet or local area networks to provide a
bidirectional interactive communications facility. Typically, telnet provides access to a command-line 
interface on a remote host via a virtual terminal connection which consists of an 8-bit byte oriented 
data connection over the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). User data is interspersed in-band with 
TELNET control information.

and in linux the manual description of the command "telnet" tell this:

The telnet command is used for interactive communication with another host using the TELNET protocol. 
It begins in command mode, where it prints a telnet prompt ("telnet> "). If telnet is invoked with a 
host argument, it performs an open command implicitly

let's start

my WDTV-live is in the direction 192.168.1.105 one way for obtain this information is see in your router or in the machine go to Settings>System setting>System information there is your Ip address

then in linux u can type this: telnet -l root 192.168.1.105 well what the hell are we doing,we are trying to enter like the Administrator or Super User then you will see something like this

pint0@debian:~$ telnet 192.168.1.102
Trying 192.168.1.102...
Connected to 192.168.1.102.
Escape character is '^]'.

WDTVLIVE-6f1ec login: root
Password: 
#

NOTE:there is not password the first time

now we can change the password,you must type this in the terminal passwd and type two times your password. this is the output of that command

# passwd
Changing password for root
New password:
Bad password: too weak
Retype password:
Password for root changed by root

well done, now you have the root access and a password and you can use ssh

SsH Access

Secure Shell or SSH is a network protocol that allows data to be exchanged using a secure channel between two networked devices. Used primarily on GNU/Linux and Unix based systems to access shell accounts, SSH was designed as a replacement for Telnet and other insecure remote shells, which send information, notably passwords, in plaintext, rendering them susceptible to packet analysis. The encryption used by SSH provides confidentiality and integrity of data over an insecure network, such as the Internet.

in linux your can do this:

1.-open a terminal,if you use gnome go to Applications>Accessories>Terminal 2.-type ssh root@your_ip or ssh your_ip -l root type your password and done

in windows you can do alot of things:
