Hello all,
Let me first say that I have browsed some relevant threads in this forum, but I have reached a dead end. I am aware that my NVR (NVS001 - WebArchive) is low quality, but I want to make one last attempt to make use of it before researching for a Hikvision or a Dahua.
Recently, I wanted to upgrade the hard disk in the NVR, when I discovered that I had forgotten the device password, which would let me access the various submenus. It’s been several years and I cannot find where I have stored the password, I probably thought it was too obvious for me to forget.
What I tried:
It seems to me that the device password is stored on some chip of the NVR mainboard. Here is the only result I could find when searching with the number of the board ( hc911-m36d-usb-rev1.0), not much help either.
The instructions here (4. How to change my device's password) are not helpful in my case, I still have access to my account password.
All thoughts and recommendations are welcome. Thanks in advance!

What I tried:
- various password combinations, including the usual (888888-admin default, 000000, 123456, etc)
- contact SriHome support through Skype – the “Reset Password” functionality is in a submenu that needs the old password to access it…
- reset device to factory settings – no dedicated button exists on the NVR mainboard, removing/replacing the CMOS battery does nothing, reset button on camera only restarts the camera. The cameras are factory-connected to the NVR wirelessly
- short some connectors on the motherboard (where a reset button would be) with a metal wire for 30 seconds, no luck
