Many Hikvision users on platforms like Reddit and security camera forums are still looking for ways to reset their device passwords. In most cases, they’ve simply forgotten the login credentials for their NVRs, DVRs, or IP cameras. Some have even tried several methods without success. For example, one user with a Hikvision DS-7608NXI-K1 NVR was unable to reset the password. In situations like this, two useful tools to consider are SADP Tool and the Hik-Partner Pro app. Both are designed to help users reset Hikvision device passwords through the appropriate recovery process.
In this article, I’ll show you how I reset the passwords for Hikvision NVRs, DVRs, and IP cameras using SADP Tool and Hik-Partner Pro.
