Changing password of the IPC without knowing the old one

I have connected a new IPC to an old NVR (DHI-NVR4216-4KS2) and NVR initialized the IPC, including setting the password.
There is a setting on NVR for a device password, which I assume is given to all auto-initialized devices, but I don't know it, I only have general admin password of the NVR, which was installed by someone else long time ago.
I would like to change some settings of the camera, but since it has been initialized I can't login to it any more with the factory defaults.
If I will change the device password on NVR, will NVR give it to all the cameras, or will I loose connection with them?
Is there a way of uninitializing the IPCs, so I will be able to set a new password and send it to the IPCs?
 
I have managed to locate the reset contacts (there is no micro-switch on Dahua IPC-NFW1530S). You have to locate to little holes and short them for about 20 sec., while powering the IPC. I have used a 12V power supply, haven't tested if powering it through PoE would work, but I guess it should.

I don’t understand. You say you have the Admin password for the NVR.
This is the password it assigns new cameras to using the NVR PoE ports.

Then you access the cameras via the blue IE icon on the camera registration page using the NVR web GUI

Is that a POE NVR or do you power the cameras with a POE switch or 12VDC?

A Google search of the model number you gave says it's not POE.
 
^^^^
And if it's NOT a PoE NVR, then the NVR didnt initialize the cameras
