How do I reset the password on an IP camera if I forgot it?

If you can’t get into your IP camera because you forgot the password, don’t worry. Below are six steps on how you can fix this.

  1. Attempt NVR password: The first thing you should do is try using your network video recorder (NVR) password on your IP camera. Sometimes manufacturers synchronize the passwords of the camera and NVR, so this might unlock it.
  2. Find the reset button: If that didn’t work you’ll have to find the reset button on your IP camera. It’s usually located at the back or bottom of the device depending on the model. Look for a small hole or a button labeled “reset”.
  3. Reset it: Use something pointed like a pin or paperclip and hold down that reset button for about 10-15 seconds. This will completely restore everything back to its default settings, including the password.
  4. Wait for it to reboot: After letting go of the reset button, give it a few moments to restart itself. During this time some indicator lights may start blinking as part of its normal rebooting process.
  5. Access the camera: Once that’s all done, try logging in with the default username and password provided by your manufacturer. Generally, it’s just ‘admin’ for both username and password fields, but to be sure refer to their website.
  6. Change your password: Do not forget this step! After you’ve logged in successfully with default credentials, take this golden opportunity to change your password immediately to something only you know.
    Remember where you put this new one too or else you’ll end up back here again later.

Please note that these steps may vary depending on what model and manufacturer made your IP camera so consulting their manual is generally a good idea if things aren’t working out as planned.
