That sounds pretty strange.

Here's the step-by-step procedure:

Get the IP address from the HD1000's "setup" screen, for example
10.5.17.11, then use the command "telnet 10.5.17.11".  It should show
something like this (the exact wording depends on the telnet program):

  Trying 10.5.17.11...
  Connected to 10.5.17.11.
  Escape character is '^]'.

  (none) login:

Type "root" (without the quotes) and hit return.  It should now prompt:

  Password: 

Just hit return to enter a blank password.  Now it _ought_ to show you
a root shell prompt:

  #

If you get that, you're connected and can start entering commands.
For example:

  # pwd
  /mnt/flash0/home/root
