Thank you, thank you. I recently purchased a house with hardwired HIKvision IP cameras and a HIKvision NVR. The previous owner is completely non-tech and had no clue about the passwords. I assume he ignored the installer's instructions regarding passwords and recording them for future use. I'd been searching for many weeks how to reset the NVR's password, reading numerous articles and viewing numerous videos. All of them have been hard to follow and applied to different versions of the NVR's interface, which vastly differed from mine. Also, the presenters seemed to presume the viewer was familiar with the software and sped through steps and sometimes used terms only known by HIKvision techs. Your video is everything those others aren't. It's clearly presented, at a slower pace to help easily follow, and made no assumptions. Thanks again. After I complete the NVR reset, I plan to peruse your videos for more instruction on my system. I'll want to reset the camera passwords and also update all the components firmware.,

Hey man! Great video. Was wondering if one has to be a licensed installer to be able to request a password reset? We inherited the system from the previous owner and nothing was shared.
I need a help on my Hikvison DVR analog 16port, i have done all this at the last encrypted file page it doesn't work on my device, it shows password reset failed
Watching this in 2024 from a video in 2021, it is so ridiculous there was a feature from Hikvision for detecting people wearing masks or not... those couple years were one of the biggest psych ops in history.... Anyway, great video ! thanks for the tips !
I have never worked with one of those devices. However, from my understanding, if it is networked you should be able to both detect it and reset it via SADP. You may want to check with tech support to be sure: us.hikvision.com/en/support-resources/tech-support/technical-support
hello I bought a used recorder, and it's locked, the previous owner doesn't even have the email and i want to reset and i change email with mine , i just know only the pattern , can i unlock it the way you describe?
That is the only way to reset if it is a Hikvision camera they will reply in my experience even if they cannot help they will tell you why! Some older devices have a reset button, look for that but I’d try completing password reset form again.
Have you first activated the cameras one at a time? When doing so, ensure that DHCP is selected. If you plug more than one camera in at a time, they will all be on Hikvisions default IP address of 192.168.1.64. This can create IP address conflict.
Ho fatto il video sul processo di ripristino del Nord America. L'Italia deve utilizzare www.hikvision.com/it/ e le telecamere devono essere vere telecamere hikvision, non OEM. Spero che questo aiuti il mio amico.
Please help me I bought the dvr on auction and I cannot contact the old owner because company went bankrupt I mailed hikvision and as a response I get that they cannot help me due to security reasons????
Depending on the model of the camera, it may do that. Try clicking on the camera in SADP and using the export button on the top menu in SADP to download the file that way. Then you can attach it as discussed in the video.
I am not sure to be honest. If it is genuine Hikvision hardware I believe it will work. We work out of the US though, so I don't know. I would try and see what Hikvision tells you.

Well done sir. I have a client who needs this so badly. Great work !!
Every now and then we come up with a good one. Glad it helped!
Hey man! Great video. Was wondering if one has to be a licensed installer to be able to request a password reset? We inherited the system from the previous owner and nothing was shared.
I don't think you need to be a licensed installer. Did you complete the password reset request and they denied you?
Thank You for this video, had a customer forgot their password and never set a email or security question, got the email in about 10 minutes.
Awesome! So glad the video was helpful!
Your a godsend .. such a well said tutorial.
Thank You!
Thanks for the video. Can I do the same to reset the camera password?
How long you have to wait after you send your ticket? I waited a day and a 1/2 and it didn't work.
This is for US only, but they generally respond in 15-30 minutes

when i browse to the password reset, the webpage that opens is a bit different from yours, i dont see the entry for device key file. can you help me?
That video was done a few years ago now and the process may have changed. I will check it out an maybe to an updated video.
how long you receive the email?
Usually within a few minutes. I believe it has to be during normal business hours in California though.
i click on the ipv4 adress and the it is marked 404 not found, what is the problem ? thanks a lot
