forgot password

[katamara]

I have a IPC-HDW4431C-A. I had set it up a few months ago on the test bench, but never mounted and installed the camera. Went to go mount the camera and I forgot the password.

Since this is a chinese camera, I really didnt want to have to put new firmware on it, if I can avoid it.

Any suggestions? Hack the password? Is that even possible?

Thanks. I was able to reset it and did not need to install new firmware.
