Introduction
There are three methods to factory reset your NVR: via Graphical User Interface, Command Line Interface, or the reset button on the actual device.
Graphical User Interface (GUI)
- Open the NVR landing page in a browser (http://<NVR_APPLIANCE_IP>/). You do not need to include the default port "7443" since you are only accessing the HTTP page for admin configuration panel.
- Click on the gear icon on the upper right hand corner of the page to access the Configure Device page.
- Login as "root" system account (username/password should be either ubnt/ubnt or root/ubnt). If you've changed this password, and don't have it anymore, proceed to the Hard (physical) reset method.
- Navigate to the Maintenance tab.
- Click "Reset to Defaults" button next to "Reset To Factory Defaults:"
- Re-open the NVR landing page in a browser (http://<NVR_APPLIANCE_IP>/).
Command Line Interface (CLI)
- Open a shell session to the NVR appliance e.g. ssh root@<NVR_APPLIANCE_IP>
- Enter the following command-line
nvr-systool reset2defaults
- Re-open the NVR landing page in a browser (http://<NVR_APPLIANCE_IP>/).
For more options, type nvr-systool --help
to list other administrative parameters. The nvr-systool
is used by the NVR management console where this CLI approach is equivalent to the GUI steps.
Hard (Physical) Reset
- Press and hold the Reset button (the crescent moon button) located below the Power button for 10+ seconds. The device will take up to 60+ seconds to restore the default configuration and return to the original factory version.
- Re-open the NVR landing page in a browser (http://<NVR_APPLIANCE_IP>/).
