How to reset Zosi DVR password<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To reset the Zosi DVR password, make sure the firmware version is V1.2.1 <\/strong>or above and follow the steps below: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.<\/strong> Identify the DVR model;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.<\/strong> Download and install the SPD App;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.<\/strong> Use the App to scan the QR Code (or type the DVR ID);<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.<\/strong> Reboot the DVR and create a new password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

-> Read the next sections for the step-by-step details…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to identify the Zosi DVR model<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You need to make sure your DVR is one of the listed above, so just take a look at the label located under your device (see picture below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Zosi<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The picture above shows the model: ZR08AN <\/strong>that is on the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Download and install the SPD App<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To reset the Zosi DVR, you need to use a mobile App called SPD<\/strong> which will generate a S<\/strong>uper Password<\/strong>. Visit the App Store or Google Play to download it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"SPD<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just look for SPD and choose the one you see in the picture above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

==><\/span><\/strong> WARNING<\/strong>: If you can’t find this app on the Android PlayStore, <\/strong>please read the article <\/span>SPD tool to reset Zosi DVR<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scan the QR Code or type the DVR ID<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The next step is to scan the QR code located in the DVR label (usually at the top).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Zosi<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open the SPD App and choose the way you want to Input the DVR ID, the first option is START SCAN QRCODE,<\/strong> and the second one is MANUAL INPUT.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Zosi<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just press the button “S<\/strong>TART SCAN QRCODE”  <\/strong>and give permission to the App to open the mobile camera when asked, then point the camera to the QR Code. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Zosi<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SPD App will read the QR code and generate a Super Password.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Zosi
Super Password for the Zosi DVR<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the DVR login screen, input the username admin <\/strong>and the Super Password<\/strong> that was created by the SPD App and press the login button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Zosi<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next time you reboot the DVR, the username will be admin <\/strong>with a blank password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(no password, just hit the login button).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create a new password for the Zosi DVR<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It’s very important to create a new password to protect your device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open the User Management and input a new password<\/strong> that is strong enough (it is recommended to use a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(leave the Old Password field the way it is… just input the New Password <\/strong>twice)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Zosi

<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that’s all. You just executed the Zosi DVR password reset successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most common problems<\/strong> with the Zosi DVR reset<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes the SPD App can’t read the label because it’s damaged or something else happens. In this case, just choose the option MANUAL INPUT and input the DVR ID manually. It also can be found in the DVR label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to reset other DVR models<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are thousands of DVRs in the market, and sometimes you have to try different procedures to reset the device and recover from a lost password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
