Thanks for the reply. I took out the battery but it still asks for a password. I tried searching the web for a default password but can't seem to find one that works. I tried 000000,123456, and hours of combinations and still can't crack it.This is a EYEMAX DVST HT-09 standalone dvr 9 channel. Anyone with some expertise on this would be greatly appreciated. If someone could tell me the default password or how to get it that would be a great help. It asks for a password in Settings and in the Logout there is an Admin and Password which are Numbers up to 8 spaces..Thanks
