current usernames and passwords after a firmware revert.
If you have set your camera to use FIPS 140-2 encryption, we recommend that you do not choose to
keep usernames and passwords after a firmware revert. The password and username is not stored in
a FIPS 140-2 compliant manner and may affect your FIPS 140-2 compliance.
Normally if you restore the camera firmware back to the factory default settings, the camera returns to using
the default username and password. When you enable this feature, the camera will continue to use the
configured username and passwords, so the camera cannot connect to new servers without the appropriate
credentials.
Important: Forgetting your own username or password after enabling this setting voids your
warranty. The primary method of restoring the factory default username and password will be
disabled.
1. At the bottom of the Users page, select the Do not clear usernames or passwords on firmware
revert check box.
2. After you select the check box, the following popup message appears:
Please store your administrator password in a safe place. Password recovery is not
covered by warranty and loss of password voids your warranty.
3. Click OK if you agree to the feature limitations.
Always keep a copy of your password in a safe place to avoid losing access to your camera.

passwords. For more information, see
