Password Reset after forgetting password

No known way to reset the DVR back to the default 1111 setting!  If you change it be sure to place the new password on the inside or some where you can find it. And still in a secured location.

I have tried the following with no success.
  • Removed the battery and removed the power supply.
  • Pressed the reset green button on the motherboard.  (Reset button reboots the DVR)
  • Jumped the con21 pins before power is applied and then booting the DVR.
  • Pressed the reset green button on the motherboard while con21 pins are jumped.  With it powered up which causes the DVR to reboot.  As well as powering it up while in the configuration.  With the battery removed and with it installed.
The only way to reset it back to default is by restoring the DVR to back to Factory settings while logged in with a level 8 priledge user or  "admin"!
So do not loss or forget your "admin" password if you change it!

Untested programs for resetting ADMIN password on the GVI DVRs, but here's some programs to check out if you wish to try out.
Google for "Calculate code" or 
"Super calculator"
Programs create a limited time password that may be able to allow you to enter the DVR menu.  Uses the current time to generate the password, without effecting your DVR.

Be sure to only download from a manufacturer website
Links I used to download programs to be added this month of May 2015.
