forget my DVR admin password
-
Hi everybody
i forget my DVR admin password, i don't know how to reset the DVR or how to recover my password
there is no reset button in the DVR
Note : i already tried to remove the battery and turn on the DVR but the DVR still keeping the old password, imagine that turn on the DVR without battery for one day and turn it off for one day but still keeping the old password, here is a snapshot of its motherboard
i want to take your advice regarding one thing : i have a feeling that if i close the circuit in that white thing (called CN8) it will reset the DVR
what do you think guys ??
-
find manual book or contact the provider ..
-
i don't have the book and the provider told me to remove the battery, but the removing of the battery doesn't solve the issue
-
How long did you remove the battery for? Try leaving it out for around 10 minutes, and holding the power button for about 5-10 seconds while the dvr is unplugged and the battery is out.

Might be worth providing them with this feedback and asking what to actually do.

I doubt CN8 will reset it, It's not the kind of header for a jumper you'd see for a reset option. looks more like a header for a buzzer/speaker or something. (And there is audio circuitry around it). could even be for chassis intrusion.
-
i don't have any power button to hold it
as for the battery i tried many scenarios without any result, i'm sure the password and configuration is saved in the ROM somewhere else as some guys told my on SW -
Would be helpful for a model/manufacturer for that thing. Aspen doesn't yield much in the way of finding info.

Surprised they told you to even open the box..
-
Try the default:
UserName: Admin
Password: .blank. -

Why because of a warran...hahahah warran... hahah warranty. Yeah right.
Obviously its an Aspen H.264 | Network DVR
What more of a model # could you want...
All of the above war satiric and meant as a joke.

thank you very much for this link, it is very handy
i think my feeling that the jumper can reset the DVR is correct based on this how-to
http://kb.zmodo.com/index.php?action=artikel&cat=2&id=221&artlang=en&highlight=passw...
but i'm still fear to damage the board because the DVR model in the how-to is different than mine,
what do you think ?? can i risk and jump the two pins on the motherboard as shown above ?? -
I would feel that that is pretty risky myself. Generally that is safe to do, but only generally.
-
i'm really scared to damage the DVR
-
Look at it this way... it's already ruined, right?
-
hhhhhhh, no it is not ruined, i just forget the password

can you use it without the password? if not, then it really is worthless right now.

That's what I was thinking.
