Hikvision camera incorrect password
- Thread starter bodlet2001

I don't think that model has a reset button inside, so I suggest you try to use the tftp method to upload the same firmware version it already has back onto it. I believe that will reset it to defaults.
can you access the cameras web interface in a browser still? does it give you a timeout for entering the wrong password
how long have you had the camera?
did you buy the camera from a authorized hikvision retailer, or some other place like amazon or ebay, etc..
did the camera "have a fit" after you did something like update firmware?
have you tried seeing if there's a reset button on the circuit board inside the cameras housing?
Have you tried Hikvisions Batch Configuration Tool?

good evening
first of all thank you for the replies, Bokeh- the cameras were purchased through an authorised hikvision retailer, about 18 months ago.
I have checked and there is no reset button inside the camera from what I can see.
I can see the camera in a web browser when connected through a POE switch, also it can be seen in the GUI on my tv.
I have tried to get in touch with them about this issue and drawn a blank, but that seems to be the norm from what I read, if I had purchased a lot more stuff then maybe they would take some action?
I have tried the Hikvisions Batch Configuration Tool as suggested but get the same response, nice little tool though!!

please explain the method TFPT as I am confused. there are so many posts about this sort of issue it is easy to get lost in one of the many posts.

Hikvision tftp updater tool and instructions (but not firmware, as you already have 5.4.0, which has a downgrade block) here, second link : Custom Firmware Downgrader 5.3.0 Chinese to 5.2.5 English
You may want to email Hikvision support for assistance in resetting the camera password if you bought it from an authorized dealer as they were very helpful for me before touching the firmware route above. One of my clients had their system hacked and passwords reset so I emailed hikvision and they provided the instructions to resetting the cameras within 2 hours of email backing and forth with troubleshooting. Here in Canada, they have a 3 year warranty.
