My recent use of Samsung security devices leads me to believe that you MUST have the remote that comes with the device. Resetting is often done by holding the MODE button along with the PTZ button until prompted for a password (which takes around 5 seconds). Then enter 4321 when prompted.
Hello Nasir, Password Reset Instructions
First, make sure that the unit is turned off.
Then press and hold any button on the included infrared remote control.
While holding the button on the remote, power on the unit.
You should hear a single beep followed by a double beep.
Samsung Security DVR Default Password.
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. https://youtu.be/RSwb7aaPIY8
Power off the DVR: Make sure the DVR is powered off by disconnecting it from the power source.
Locate the reset button: On the back or bottom of the DVR, you should find a small reset button. It is often recessed and may require a pointed object like a paperclip or pin to press.
Press and hold the reset button: Using a suitable tool, press and hold the reset button for about 15 to 30 seconds. This will reset the DVR to its default settings, including the password.
Power on the DVR: After releasing the reset button, reconnect the DVR to the power source and power it on. The DVR will go through a startup process.
Access the DVR: Once the DVR has finished booting up, you should be able to access it using the default login credentials.
Username: The default username is usually "admin" or "admin1234". If these do not work, consult the DVR's user manual or documentation for the correct default username.
Password: The default password is typically either blank (no password) or set to "4321". If none of these options work, refer to the DVR's documentation or contact Samsung's technical support for assistance.
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.
