Di you changed the password. The login credentials should be by default Login: ADMIN Password: 4321. Can you try this one.

inorder to reset the password is to perform a hard reset. See procedure below:

Do do a "hard reset" you have to have the remote, and press monitor>menu> 4>6 choose DVR then 14>16

Press "Monitor" / "Menu" / "4" / "6" ...... you must do this fast. After password is reset, press "6" and "6" again to get out. Then poweroff / poweron the system and the password will be 4321

I tried your hard reset but it did not work. Is the 14 the # 10 button on the remote and then #4 or is it #1 then #4? Also are the buttons pushed one after the other are do you need to try holding the monitor,menu,4 & 6 down at the same time?

Please try this one. To reset to factory: Press CH2 and ALARM buttons on the monitor(at the same time) for a few seconds.

Customer

There are NO CH2 or ALARM buttons on the Monitor.

I can NOT get to those screens without the password which I DO NOT have. There are NO buttons on the monitor to push.

Customer

Thankyou but I will have to take the system back where I bought it and see what they can find out. If they can't fix it I will have to buy a new system.

Customer

The monitor>menu> 4>6 process should work. If this will not work then a new firmware might need to be installed in the system.

If this is a brand new system then i suggest that you take it back from the store where you purchased it and ask for replacement.
