Well I spoke too soon was doing some bandwidth tests and the HIKvision DS-7732N-E4/16P 32 ch DVR is now refusing my admin password.
all the other logins are only operator forgot to add another admin like I normally do Doh...
This is a shinny new one just out of the box today I changed the password on boot-up like it asked... all good it seemed then I spent hours
doing the config. After a reboot it wont accept my admin password this is one I use all the time for new DVR`s so there were no typos
I even tried all uppercase. abc12345 123456789abc etc no luck maybe my password was not complex enough and it bombed out to some default ?
Tried the clicking on the bottom left login screen to get the recovery up and tried the password encoder page with the serial and date did not work [I think new DVR`s have been "adjusted" to stop this]
I tried the new version3 of SADP and yep it wants me to send HIK a file -this is an Ebay DVR so wont have any luck there talking to the sellers.
Emailled hik and NO response of course.
My only thoughts are new firmware, but the seller says dont do it ! as its a Chineese version flashed by them to ENGWISH !
