I don't believe that presumed R0 series firmware has the very widespread CVE-2021-36260 CE vulnerability - so that isn't an attack vector.
But you will be able to reset the device to Inactive by using the Hikvision tftp updater to re-apply the 5.4.5 firmware.
It's not too hard to do if you think it's worth doing.

Hikvision IP Camera Emergency Firmware Recovery TFTP. Check this thread for info on how to use this tool to un-brick your Hikvision camera.
Thanks! Recovered another DS-2CD2232-I5 thanks to this. I've got 3 in my crap pile now. The TFTP thing sounds like it might be more trouble than its worth.

Basically -
Set the PC IP address to 192.0.0.128
Have the firmware file in the same folder as tftpserv.exe
Start the program.
Power on the camera.
With both PC and camera connected to their own LAN ports.
The camera probes and connects, downloads and applies the firmware, resets to defaults.
Job done.

Try setting the PC IP address to 192.168.1.128 instead.
Some models of cameras are set to use that alternate address.

This works best with both PC and camera wired to their own LAN ports (no WiFi), and with the camera powered by 12v (not PoE).
Is that how you have it set up?
edit And maybe temporarily disable the Windows firewall in case it's blocking the probes.
Doe the PC have any network-protection AV running?

Hoping you are still on this thread and see this....
I'm having the same issue but with older firmware on my cameras of v5.3.o and NVR V3.0.19 (I don't know what any of this means)
If I am to follow your advice and get the configuration file, would you be able to decode it and get my passwords? Cheers.

Yes, that's easy enough to do.
