I forgot my NVR, DVR password. How to reset it?

There are two ways to reset your Camius NVR or DVR password which are described below.

If your recorder has a reset button, press and hold it for 10 seconds; you will hear an audible confirmation. This will reset all settings, including the password, but not erase recorded footage on your hard drive.
