When using the Lorex DVR, you may come across an issue that makes it challenging for you to troubleshoot or resolve. In that case, the best fix would be to reset or restore the entire DVR system.
By resetting the device, you will delete all the data, including the configurations causing the problem.
But depending on your DVR, it may require you to use a password before you can reset it. However, you can reset a Lorex DVR to factory settings without a password.
Lorex does not give its customers the option to reset the device on their own. If you forgot your password, you have to call the support team to get a temporary passcode that will allow you to reset your password.
But before contacting the technical team, try using the Lorex DVR default password. The default username for most LHV/LNR Series systems is admin, and the password is 000000.
If you are using LHA/LNK Series systems, the default username is admin, and the password is 00000000.
