Can you help me please

[@trevorohare6061]

My set up is lil different

[@Larhanya]

You're my hero! We bought a house with a Hikvision NVR and camera set-up, but they left us no information on login. After the sale was completed, even their real estate agent couldn't get a hold of them to get the password. But now we can use the cameras, thanks to you.

[@bigtiii]

Did you have to reset all the HIKVISION cameras as well?

[@Larhanya]

@bigtiii No, it picked them up just fine. It even remembered the names assigned to each camera.

I have an LTN8708-P8 (LTS Brand) but cannot find the place on MB to reset using your method. I watched every video available to try and find similar examples as yours. Any thoughts? Tried button battery out for 24 hours I guess the pw and setup config must be written to the bios? Appreciate any support.

Did you get it fixed

[@drabusharr]

@@trevorohare6061 THanks for your reply. I still cannot get it online so that I can see the videos remotely

The beeping is due to no hard drive. If I remember correctly, the no video (or camera loss) is a single, long beep.

Im going to try it as well, i just recently bought a new ones after failing to retrieve password on my old dvr

Thank you, does resetting the password delete the data and videos from the hard drive?

[@DIYGEEKTEXAS]

No, this reset will only reset your admin password. Your video footage will remain intact on your hard drive.

[@dannyd7111]

Worked for me. Thanks

[@jimaggie93]

Bro...clean that monitor! ;-) Does this work with a Northern NVR?

[@DIYGEEKTEXAS]

Yes it should work with most NVR / DVR. Most NVR / DVR has physical reset button on the electronics board.

[@raunakthapa7680]

My DVR does not have that button, still stuck 😢

[@jasongardner3202]

No reset switch in my model :( Looks the same as yours but a different board inside. Just purchased it a couple if weeks ago, they must have removed the switch for newer models.

[@DIYGEEKTEXAS]

You are right, sometime they just save some monies and NOT install the reset push button switch. If you can locate the soldering points, modify a paper clip to a tweezer and short the 2 points.

[@jhareng]

Had mine 4 weeks exactly the same 8K 8Channel NVR sent from Annke in Worcester. I will open it up again to check.

This hardware password reset button method will reset your pattern and password. It will NOT reset your camera configurations and recorded videos and events.

[@sefaalp-m5m]

hi.there is no switch on board on my Hikvision NVR???

[@DIYGEEKTEXAS]

If your Hikvision NVR motherboard does not have reset switch, try to look for a jumper or just 2 points on the PCB board which does the same thing. Sometime Hikvision does not install switch on cheaper model.

[@sefaalp-m5m]

@@DIYGEEKTEXAS hi. Thank you for the very quick reply. It is DS-7716NI-E4 16ch POE ..I dont think it is cheaper model.the board is yellewish.and there are lots of 2 ponts and 4 points jumber like solder:-)

@@sefaalp-m5m Make sure the jumper has label like RST or RESET or PWD or PW on it. **DO NOT RANDOMLY SHORT JUMPERS** may damage your board.

Hi there, thank you for the video. I have a different board; unfortunately, there is no such reset button. I bought a house and the system was installed by the previous owner, so I don't know the model of my hardware. The cameras are working though, as I can plug in a monitor and watch all the cameras. I tried with the apps but they returned a message saying that I am not the owner of the hardware, so I don't have access. Any suggestions about how to reset the password? Best, Fabrizio

I cannot find a reset button on my printed circuit please can you help

[@DIYGEEKTEXAS]

Try looking for 2 jumper contact points which are labeled something to do with RESET. If still do not find it, try to remove lithium coin battery for 10 min while power unplugged.

[@stephenlafferty7327]

Thanks for getting back to me I have had the unit and plugged and remove the battery overnight, but it is still asking for an admin password. Is there some sort of default password that they put on these units. And I have taken photos off the printed circuit board and wondered if you could take a look and see if you can see any type of reset as I've searched and searched. The only thing I have found by reading other things on Google is there is two points near the power in marked as cvl 5 which has a square contact and a round contact and I've noticed on some other boards that this is it possible reset. If you could give me any help with this problem and somewhere I could send the photos I am willing to pay if I get this working again. Thank you

Please use SADP tool to reset DVR, NVR and IP Camera as HIKVision recomend 🙏

[@andrewrealestate5288]

SADP tool takes a long time and more work to reset password.

[@DIYGEEKTEXAS]

Some NVR do not have hardware reset button, then you should use SADP to reset password. However SADP takes longer as you need to export XML file first, email to Hikvision and get password reset code.

[@cctvpapuaindonesia]

Ok, but because i am a HIKVision dealer i usualy only take 5 to 10 minutes to get reset code in workdays.

Sometime they do not install the push button switch to save on material cost. But you can still connect the pins on the PCB board if they exists. However it is difficult to find the right reset pins.
