use putty
open telnet and type "passwd"

then you will be invited to type in the new password and confirm. (when your are typing the new password, it doesn't show on the screen)

If you are still trying with that TM800 there is no password on TM by default.

I use Telnet through a CMD windows prompt and always get asked for the username which can never be changed on Enigma2 so it is always defaulted to 'root', and as @manic01 states there is no password until you apply one

Use Puttytel as your telnet program DCC can be a pain.

Its not password you type in after login

The command to type is

passwd

You then need to enter the new password of your choice the hit enter you then need to repeat the password. At no time during this will you see the cursor move or anything.
