The password is stored on the hard drive. Removing the battery that maintains the clock, when the machine is unplugged, does absolutely nothing but default the clock.
On older models like his and mines, the password is stored on the motherboard. I switched the hardrives 3 times and it still told me to put a password.
this trick may work for a zosi made in 2016 but it doesn't work on the 2019 model i tried it on, restarting it after pulling the battery does reset the date and time but the wizard doesn't show a next t link to click on, just a finish link then when you try and enter main menu with admin and admin or admin and blank you just get an invalid user and p/w message. there's no button or cmos jumper on the board, it seems to be storing the user and p/w and camera setup in a part of the bios that can't be reset by pulling the battery like a lot of laptops do. it doesn't seem logical that they would allow that kind of access through the network with the spd app but i guess i try that next and see......
I have a swann dvr8-4575 and I literally don't have access to the recording screen/login screen. can't figure out how to reset or get the password (it was my brothers but he moved and left it to us)
Good evening I have a night owl DVR system I forget the password but it don't carry a reset button on it I take the battery out and still it comes up with the same credentials please help
Do you have to reset password before you put CMOS back? or you can remove the CMOS and put it back in 1 minute and then set up the whole device again as a new device?
Are we talking about password for the NVR or cameras? In the title it says cameras I need to reset the password on my cameras not the NVR title is not what's explained
Hi, I have a lot of tools for DVR password resetting. You can contact me and I will check what system your DVR has. Then you can use the right one. I help a lot of people everyday on my support channel.
I'm trying to get a QSEE reset as well. I've heard that possibly the newer QSEE DVR systems (and maybe others) store the user info to the hard drive. I think I might pull the drive and load it to an old desktop or mount the drive with a USB adapter as if it's an external HDD. Then look for files that seem out of place. Newer creation date. I bet you can delete the password "store" and reload the drive into the DVR. Restart and it will be factory reset. But dang. I can get a cheap one on Alibaba for a couple hundred bucks. And I don't have to be extorted by the technician who has an admin account in his name and could just remote in and reset my password to 123456 and I'd send him 50 bucks. But he said he thinks everybody wants him to work for free so he's gonna tell me he doesn't remember the password and charge me $150 to come out and magically be able to reset it. Lol

I did what he said and it did not help me with the password. Or maybe I missed something
I agree. That does nothing for Bunker hill or Samsung

Thank you so much it worked for my dvr ❤
You're welcome!
Sorry removing the CMOS battery does not reset the password on most systems!

Does not work for most models of dcrs. Don't waste your time
does it wipe the whole record if its a hard rest
I guess it depend on the brand but resetting cmos battery only reset motherboard not hard drive
@@Lenzwalters thank you

Removed cmos bettery but it didn't work. What to do?
turn on without cmos then turn on with cmos
Not working
Will this delete recordings too
For some no. the video is being stored on hard drive, password are being stored on main board
Didnt work for me
Because it's a lie.
Password is on the hd.
Removing the battery defaults the clock. It has no other purpose than to maintain the time when unplugged.
Can't understand only half of what you saying
Don't work and no I don't need tools need knowledge on a smonet DVR
Still didn't work
Hi I took out my batter
