tonypattinson 0 Posted August 29, 2015 I'm having password trouble with a DVR I've recently bought on eBay. Can anybody confirm that this is a Dahua unit and if so which one? I have reset the unit by pulling out the battery and need to input the admin or 888888 password. I believe the unit has never been used as its so clean inside. Any help or guidance is much appreciated, thanks in advance. Pics attached. Tony Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tonypattinson 0 Posted August 31, 2015 The password suggested above worked fine with the dahua software on my mac however it didn't connect with the Robox DVR0804HF-A unit. The screen grabs show how far I get on the unit itself with the unit buttons but sadly I'm simply unable to tap in the password with button combinations. I plug in a usb mouse (from my mac, tried 2 mice) and no cursor appears and therefore that doesn't work. I am unable to tap in any letters or numbers to unlock the unit. Does anybody know what I need to be able to input a password. Am I missing a ir remote maybe? Thanks again for your help Tony Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tonypattinson 0 Posted August 31, 2015 Thank you but how do I tap in 888888. A mouse doesn't work, do I need a IR remote? Is there a special button combination, I have been unable to find one. Could it be I need a PC mouse? I'm at a loss here. Thanks for your help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iTuneDVR 2 Posted August 31, 2015 Use PC mouse or IR remote or special PC procram from SDK to remote connect and manipulate your screen menu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The menus are there, probably just on the wrong video output. If you have a monitor connected to VGA/HDMI, use a normal TV connected to video out.

badmop 0 Posted September 5, 2015 What about if it has a network port, get it online, login through the computer on the web browser, and if the 888888 password works. Then while logged in through the web browser, change the password to something only alphabetical abc, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
