I had a chinese 2032 cam. Somehow could not login anymore. Got the "wait" for "20 seconds". Realized my ivms4200 PCNVR was trying incorrect password or at least one the camera no longer wanted to accept. Deleted camera configuration in software.

Reset tool worked beautifully although I did have to enter the default password that presumably came with camera, "12345" once I got password was recovered successfully.
Thanks!!!

If you have ever locked yourself out of a Hikvision camera or NVR by forgetting the admin password, and had to beg Hikvision or anyone else for an unlock code, you will appreciate this. I present a small tool that lets you generate your own unlock codes which can be entered into SADP to reset the admin password on any of your Hikvision cameras. This tool is written in HTML/CSS/JavaScript so it runs in any modern web browser and you can view the complete source code easily.

///////////////////////////////////////
Update (September 13, 2017)

It is now possible to reset passwords on some cameras that won't work with the reset code tool, by exploiting a backdoor that was recently made public.

I've built a tool for that. It only works with cameras (not NVRs. If you need to reset an NVR, try the tool further below):

GitHub - bp2008/HikPasswordHelper: A tool which exploits a backdoor in Hikvision camera firmwares circa 2014-2016 to help the owner change a forgotten password.



///////////////////////////////////////

Disclaimer: This tool may or may not work for your camera or NVR. Please follow the instructions very carefully and be precise in all your inputs into the tool. Devices on newer firmware require a more secure password reset procedure which I can not help with. I think this tool will only work with cameras running firmware older than 5.3.0. I do not know what version is the cutoff for NVRs.

Some Hikvision devices (perhaps only NVRs) show their model number appended to the beginning of their serial numbers. You may need to remove this from the serial number that you enter into the tool. For example, if the serial number shows as DS-7208HVI-ST0123456789AAWR987654321WCVU and the device's model number is DS-7208HVI-ST, then the true serial number is 0123456789AAWR987654321WCVU

Without further ado, here is a link so you can use it without downloading anything: Hikvision Password Reset Tool



Inside this spoiler block is the complete source code which you can write to a .html file on your computer, allowing you to use it offline.

Some will say it is irresponsible to publish this. I disagree. Evidently a number of people outside of Hikvision have possessed the ability to generate these codes for a while now. I found this (similar) functionality freely available for download elsewhere, so I really don't feel bad about releasing this and making it a bit easier to recover your cameras.

Same for V5.4.5 build 170124. Which I understand isn't supported by the tool.

Does Hikvision no longer do the resets via their reset request page?

Is there a hardware reset button inside for the DS-2CD2342WD-I?

*** Edit to later add since it might help someone:

Hikvision did provide a reset code in my case as a "one-time exception since you didn't purchase from an authorized distributor blah blah blah...." So that may be worth a try in some cases.

I'd already gotten around it by over-writing the firmware. These later cameras with firmware v5.4.x do attempt connection to a tftp server on boot so that's still a not too difficult way to reset.

Power down the camera.
Remove the dome.
Press and hold the reset button - near the SD card holder (if it has one) at the edge of the board.
Power on the camera and keep the button pressed for 20 seconds.
Release the button and power cycle the camera.

SADP should then show the camera as 'Inactive' where you create your own strong password to Activate it.

Can't seem to get it to work. What am I doing wrong? I have tried both ports: 8000 and 80 to no avail.
They are all showing Active but it's showing only one video.
