:dejection: Well, I finally managed to mess (brick?) my NVR and will need help getting it back online.
Quick story first: upgraded from 3.0.10 US to 3.3.2 Euro and now I can't login to change settings. NVR rebooted after firmware update thru web gui, asked for password to activate (viewing thru monitor), now I can't access settings menu to make changes. Ask for password, but none of the ones I tried work (including the one I used for activation). Did I just bricked my NVR? Was 3.0.10 euro to 3.3.2 euro a no no?
Long story: I have a DS-7608N-E2/8P that originally came with hacked 3.0.8 multi lang (I think, can't remember) from Aliexpress. As soon as I got it, I upgraded to 3.0.10 build 141126 Euro(multi lang) version without issues. Everything seemed to work fine, but lately I was having problems maintaining settings for some of my cameras, like the frame rate for the main and event streams, motion settings, and others. I decided to upgrade to 3.0.10 build 150511 and again, everything worked fine. This time, I was able to finally set the fps settings for my cameras as desired, but now my recordings were having problems. I set all my cameras to continuous recording with a low fps/bit rate, and higher fps/bitrate when motion is detected, but somehow all my recordings were getting cuff off at different intervals (assuming depending on motion). After some tinkering with settings, remove/add cameras, reformat hard drive, the problem with recordings persisted. I didn't have this problem when I was using the 3.0.10 build 141126 firmware. This time, after reading as much as possible I finally decided to try to upgrade to 3.3.2 build 150522 (multi-lang) firmware and now, I have no access (sort of) to the NVR.
Here is what I did and what's going on with the NVR. I downloaded the 3.3.2 firmware, use Hiktools to set the language flag to 2, upgraded thru NVR web gui and everything seemed to work just fine, UNTIL the system rebooted. I waited for the system to reboot and was trying to ping it while it was coming up, but no response. When I went to the monitor connected directly to the NVR, there was a window asking for Activation and it gave me the option to enter a password. The user name had a drop down menu, but I was not able to type anything on it. It only had like an ascii character (square) on it, so I just went ahead and entered a password, which the NVR accepted and gave me a message that NVR or login or device (can't remember) was activated. After that, I had a blank screen. When I right click on it, I get the menu options, but when I try to access the settings it wants credentials. The problem is that the password I used for the activation is not working as well as other passwords, to include 12345, admin, etc... I'm not able to select or type anything for the username, it is just a drop down menu with the same ascii character. (see pics)
SADP shows the NVR, but without any IP assigned. If I try to change it, I receive an error message. (see pics)
Has anyone seen this before and have any input on what should I do? Thanks.
