I'm sorry, but I don't have a decryption key for that model of configuration file.would you please tell me the Hikbackup user password for attach file?
What device is it taken from?

I have looked at the output file from SADP with several editors, Hex editor, Geany and the like, and searched them for the passwords you gave me, to no avail. I have a friend that was able to determine that the password files stored in VMS are stored at the exact same location in memory, every time and so therefore he could go to that location and look at the data, in HEX, and retrieve any password change. Any chance you'd share what you are doing? Even a clue.What version of firmware does SADP show for the camera?
If it's 5.4.4. or earlier, use this URL to extract the configuration file :
http://<camera_IP_address>/System/configurationFile?auth=YWRtaW46MTEK
Then zip it up and attach here, and I'll decrypt and decode it and extract the password for you.
That XML file from SADP is a password reset request file and does not hold any passwords, just a signed request code.I have looked at the output file from SADP with several editors, Hex editor, Geany and the like, and searched them for the passwords you gave me, to no avail.
The configuration files that are exported by the older firmware are reversibly encrypted using a key which can be determined by reverse engineering the firmware, and also subject to a very obvious XOR encode, allowing the password which is stored in plaintext to be exposed.Any chance you'd share what you are doing?
Please help, I'm stuck trying to reset this password at this point not much I can't do. I have attached the config file. Your help will be really appreciatedWhat version of firmware does SADP show for the camera?

Not to the post that I can see ..I have attached the config file.
then I must be doin something wrong, I just put 2 files in to a zip folder. They are the same file just in case. Sorry I did not know I had to zip the fileNot to the post that I can see ..
No worries, you got there.Sorry I did not know I had to zip the file
Excellent! Good to hear, thanks for the update.I just try it and it works !!!
One possible cause could be that the NVR was hacked and the password changed if UPnP is enabled on both the NVR and router, or 'port forwarding' is enabled.For no apparent reason I was unable to remotely view my Hikvision NVR through the app with an error stating the password was incorrect.
Sorry, but these are 'reset request' files that only Hikvision can provide a response file to, they are not configuration files that can be decrypted to reveal a plaintext password.Can you please take a look and tell me what the password is set to?
thank you. I will get this done in the next few days. Much appreciated.One possible cause could be that the NVR was hacked and the password changed if UPnP is enabled on both the NVR and router, or 'port forwarding' is enabled.

If the camera has firmware older than 5.4.4, it is usually possible to extract a configuration file by using a backdoor vulnerability.
The method is as follows :
With a PC that has the IP address configured to be in the same range as that of the camera, and on the same network as the camera (this can be on an unused PoE port of an NVR when the camera is also connected to an NVR PoE port), use the URL
http://<camera_IP_address>/System/configurationFile?auth=YWRtaW46MTEK
in the browser to attempt to extract a configuration file.
Zip it up and attach here for decryption / decode.
