As a Senior Video Surveillance Solutions Engineer at CCTV-MALL, a leading global provider of video monitoring system solutions, I often encounter questions regarding the management of security devices, such as Network Video Recorders (NVRs). One common issue that users face is forgetting or needing to change their NVR passwords. In this CCTV-MALL Classroom session, I will guide you through the process of resetting the password on a Dahua NVR, ensuring that you can maintain the security and accessibility of your surveillance system..
Step 1: Access the NVR Interface
To begin the password reset process, you'll need to access the NVR's interface. This is typically done through an internet browser on a computer connected to the same network as the NVR. Enter the NVR's IP address into the browser's address bar to access the login page.
Step 2: Locate the Default Credentials
Before proceeding with the reset, it's important to have the default login credentials handy. These can usually be found in the NVR's user manual or on a sticker on the device itself. The default username is often "admin," and the default password may be "admin" or "12345."
Step 3: Initiate the Password Reset
Once logged in with the default credentials, navigate to the NVR's main menu. Look for a section related to system settings, user management, or security settings. Within this section, you should find an option to change or reset the password.
Step 4: Enter and Confirm the New Password
When prompted, enter your new desired password and confirm it by entering it again in the designated field. Make sure to choose a strong, unique password that you will remember. It's also a good practice to avoid using easily guessable information such as birthdays or common words.
Step 5: Save and Exit
After entering the new password, save the changes by clicking on the "Save," "Apply," or similar button. It may take a few moments for the NVR to process the changes. Once the changes are saved, log out of the NVR interface and then log back in using the new password to confirm that the reset was successful.
