I assume there is a root password, and I'm under the assumption that it is not something known it easily guessed, so how do I install the software update so that I can either know or set the root user password?

SMB784, are you asking how you interface with the unit? You'll need to telnet into the device through the ethernet connection. As rf-loop said, it depends what your current firmware version is. This determines the path you need to take. The firmware is upgraded by copying files to a USB flash and following the on-device menus.
Once you have an updated firmware, you need to load the special OS build found in the message that rf-loop mentioned in B above.

Indeed, thank you. After some time spent thinking, I did exactly that process. I am now working on logging in via root!
SMB784:
So I am running into a snag with the root login via telnet.
Thus far I have successfully downloaded and installed the firmware, and the OS from the silent website. I then installed the special software from the aforementioned link, and the device boots correctly. I am successfully able to get to the login prompt using telnet.
There is where the trouble starts. I enter root as the login name and I enter the password and it tells me that the login info is incorrect. I have tried many different combinations of login name and password.
So: either I am incorrectly using telnet, or I am entering in the wrong password, or Siglent has patched this technique, or the scope is ignoring and not installing the custom software update when the USB is plugged in before boot up. I did time the boot sequence and it takes 20 seconds to boot regardless of whether or not the USB with the firmware is present.
Not sure what is going on here, gonna try some other things while I try to figure it out. Any suggestions are welcome, and I will keep you updated.

It sounds like all you need is the password for the modified firmware! Most of these modified firmware files for the Siglent devices floating around on this forum all us the same password.

Well, I tried the very same password that logs me into the website in the first link of your message, and it tells me that it's wrong. The user name is root, and the password is the same one as the one that logs me into that website, and it says that the login credentials are wrong.
This leads me to believe that the custom software update is not being applied correctly for some reason.

Hmmm... that's the right one. The credentials are changed through the modified OS update file, rather than the App firmware update.

As rf-loop described in A. Load the standard SDS1004X-E Firmware (4-Channel Model) - 6.1.25R2 (Release Date 06.29.18 ) file, then the modified SDS1004X-E Operating System-V1 (Only For 4-Channel ) (Release Date 06.26.18 ) from the post listed.
