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.
Samsung Security DVR Reset Procedure #1

1. Reset the unit to factory by pressing both [MODE] and [PTZ] button for 5 seconds
2. Then enter the 4321.

Samsung Security DVR Reset Procedure #2

   Wait 2 minutes
   Press and hold the following buttons

   • VOLUME UP
2. The unit should power on. Once it does, you can release power.

   When the DVR goes through it's setup again, it will be at factory defaults. The password will be 4321.

Samsung Security DVR Reset Procedure #4 This reset will work on SDR models. It may also work on other models.

2. Make sure you press them quickly, one after the other. If it doesn't work the first time, try doing it several times. It can take many tries to get the timing right. If/when it works, you should get a screen that gives you the option to reset.

Samsung Security DVR Reset Procedure #5 This reset will work on SDR models where procedure #4 failed. It may also work on other models.

These reset procedures cover many Samsung Security DVRs, but not all. I will add reset procedures to this article as they become available to me. By design, Security DVRs are made to be secure, and not all of them can be reset by the consumer. If you have an urgent need related to your Samsung Security DVR, you should contact Samsung directly at their support page Samsung Support, or by calling: 877-349-3149. For less urgent matters, you can email them directly at Email Samsung Support. Support is available 7 days a week, 9:00 am - 9:00 pm EST.

Hello there,
You need to first save the settings info by jotting down all addresses and passwords. Next, uninstall the software and restart your phone. Re-install the software, in so doing look for an updated version if possible. If this does not work, then open your DVR software settings and check your Mobile settings. Make sure that the user name and password still stands. This includes your server port. That should fix it.

Hi Ken, most sites have a "Forgot Password" or "Reset" link somewhere on the sign in page - on some, you may have to fail to login a few times before it automatically asks if you want to recover your account.

Mot sure which site you are having trouble with, but you may want to consider using a free password manager to save your login info going forward - this also keeps your passwords more secure because you don't need to type them, and makes logging in faster. We offer a free password manager you can install in a few seconds to try it out!:
