Managing Passwords and User
Accounts
By default, the system user name is admin and the password is 000000. Passwords are
enabled by default and are required to access the Main Menu or connect to the system
using a computer or mobile device. You will be prompted to create a custom password
after you connect for the first time.
NOTE
If you forget the password to the system, contact technical support to have it reset.
The system includes the following default accounts:
• admin: The admin account has full access to the system, may configure all system
settings, and can manage user accounts.
• default: The default account is a limited user account that may only view live video
from the cameras.
For security reasons, it is essential that you change the password on your system. By
default, the system password is enabled.
