QC444 Admin Password Reset

[rwx 0]

I just rec'd the QC444, and cannot log into the Admin account -- tried admin/admin, but I got "invalid password". I have been working with tech support a q-see.com, but they don't seem to know how to reset the admin account.

 

Any suggestions???

 

The other question is, do I really need the admin rights, if I have the "local" admin rights (888888 account)? I cannot see from the manual that there is any difference.

To answer the second question, you would need the admin rights to create new users.

 

To reset the admin password:

1. Unplug the power cord
2. Open the case and remove the button battery
3. Plug in the AC power
4. Use a mouse to right click and bring up the menu
5. admin is already typed in as user
6. Click the little on screen keyboard to get the one with all numbers
7. Type 000000
8. Left click login

Replace the battery plus side up.

This temporary account will only work once.  You must create a new admin password quickly or you'll end up back at step one.
