Delete the password file by using telnet<\/p>\n<h2>1. Use the DVR factory default password<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It seems obvious, but trying to use the DVR default password must be the first thing for an h.264 network reset password recovery attempt since in many cases the original DVR&#8217;s password has never been changed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Check the DVR manufacturer&#8217;s manual or a password list for specific DVR models, the most common brands are Swann, Voyager, and Dahua.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">See the table below with the DVR default password for different manufacturers.
