How do I change the password on my Recorder?

Step 1. Type the IP address of your camera/recorder on the URL bar of your web browser. Enter the current username and password. This information will be provided by your installer.

Use Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. If you don’t know the IP of your device, use the SADP tool to scan your network.

Step 2. Navigate to the settings panel and go to Configuration > User Management. Select the username admin, then click on the modify button (as shown in the picture below).

Step 3. Delete the old password then enter the new password of the device in the red box, and enter it again for confirmation.

Make sure to use a strong password and don’t forget it. It’s very time-consuming to reset the password on Hikvision devices.
