Dahua camera forgot password

[dabflyboy]

Soooo I'm a bonehead and I've forgotten my dahua camera password. It's an IPC-HFW5442-ASE-NI. Anyone know how to about resetting it?

Is there a tool like the Hikvision Reset tool, or should I go about using the company's "forgot password" link?

Under the cover on the camera housing is a reset button. It's kind of small and looks like a little tab sticking up parallel with the SD card slot. Hold that down for ten to fiftenn seconds with power applied and it will factory reset to all default settings.

Thanks, I'll give it a go when I get home. Much appreciated.
