Why can I not get the menu setup on my screen for the sunluxy dvr

Samsung Security DVR Default Password

For nearly all Samsung Security DVRs, the default password is 4321. If it hasn't been changed since setup, then you can just use that to access the DVR. The default password is included in the reset procedures for completeness. If you have changed your password or access code for your Samsung Security DVR since it was setup, or if you changed it during the initial setup, use that password in place of the default password. The password will be the latest password that was set on the DVR. If no password has ever been set, then it will be the default.

I'm not familiar with this particular dvr but most of the time the "help" button is still available to click on even though you can't log in. Search "log in" through the help menu and see if they give you default usernames and passwords.

I had the same problem. Did their online tech support and Patty told me to hold down the "rewind" button on the DVR for 20 secs. You should now be able to right click your mouse to access the on screen menu. You will now want to go under system, and a/v setup and change the device to VGA instead of Vout. Now you can reboot and not have to go thru holding down the buttons anymore. Worked for me.

Follow these instructions to reset the master password on the JPEG2000 and JPEG2000 H.264 Dual Codec series DVRs. Press the menu button on the DVR.

You will be logged into the DVR as the administrator. Select Configuration from the System Menu. Then, select password Setup from the confuration menu. The password setup screen will display your current password.
