Call their help desk they say is the only way..

If you had changed the default password that came with your system- #1. Contact either the manufacturer, installer, or vendor from where you purchased your system from; they should be able to walk you through the steps of how to reset the password to its default. And then from there, you can change it to the password you want to use. If you never changed the default password, your user manual will have it for you...in the event you lost the user's / owner's manual, see #1.

Same here. Updated firmware system rebooted and locked on the Night Owl screen. Mine is the FS-8500.( DVR model FS-500 ). Anybody find a fix to the issue? I believe the firmware is in the motherboard. Anyway to hook to PC and "push / force" the firmware into the DVR. Or some tyoe of master reset. Or is this thing bricked for good.If it cant be fixed, do you know where I can get a new motherboard with firmware installed. Tried talking to tech support but am fighting with them over the issue. Pretty freaking useless over there.

I wish I could do the same - I changed video out setting and can't get back..... any luck on your end>?

Had the same thing happen with a Night Owl 8 cam system. I set the resolution too high (1900x1200 I think) and it said Frequency Out of Range on my monitor. I could not find a solution so I finally disconnected the dvr and took it to a large lcd hd tv. I connect through the vga cable and it worked. I reduced the resolution back down to something I know would work on my monitor and all is good.
