Restored hikvision NVR to default settings and since DS-2CD2x42FWD cameras are offline

[Sohail]

Here is the system info from my HikVision NVR

I forgot the admin password. I googled it and found on a forum to restore all parameters to default setting to fix the issue.

I have 3 Hikvision DS-2CD2x42FWD cameras and all are offline. They were working fine before i restored to default settings.Now they are showing offline (user password error)

So far I have updated the NVR firmware from V-3.4.82 to V-3.4.92 but no luck. Can someone help please?

Hi, By default your NVR passes its user name & password to the cameras (assuming they are directly plugged-in from inactive).

You could try selecting the cameras, click 'Modify' change from 'Plug-and-Pay' to 'Manual' and see if you can enter the correct password for the cameras.
Unless you knowingly set the user name to something else it is almost certainly 'admin'.

You may well need to reset your cameras to inactive and re-add them to your NVR.

NB You still have further updates on your NVR to complete to bring it up to the latest version V3.4.96:
