Hikvision/HiLook Password Reset Melbourne – Unlock Your CCTV System
Locked out of your Hikvision/HiLook system?
We help Melbourne homes and businesses regain secure admin access using official reset paths — with a
data-first approach
and same/next-day on-site support when needed.
Our focus is to restore control without guessing, without risky shortcuts, and without unnecessary factory resets.
Typical scenarios:
Forgot admin
inherited property
staff turnover
after firmware update
device reset
How we work:
- Diagnose the lockout: we pinpoint the cause (admin credentials, ownership change, account linkage, firmware behavior) so the reset path is correct from the start.
- Use official reset methods: SADP, verification/QR, encrypted reset files, or local console — strictly aligned with Hikvision procedures.
- Protect recordings & settings: we aim to preserve footage and configuration wherever possible. Factory reset is the last resort and only used when recovery options are exhausted.
- Verify authority: we confirm ownership/permission before any reset or account change to protect privacy and keep your system compliant.
What we avoid:
We do not use unsafe “generic hacks” that can wipe data, break compliance, or lock you out again.
If a method risks recordings or device integrity, we won’t recommend it.

Methods to Reset Your Hikvision/HiLook Password
There are several ways to reset the password on Hikvision devices, depending on the model and setup. Below are the most common reset methods we use to restore access securely.
✅ Method 1: Hard Reset (Physical Button Reset)
- Power off the device
- Press and hold the reset button (inside the casing or near ports)
- Power the device back on while still holding the button
- Hold for 10–15 seconds until the unit resets
⚠️ Not all Hikvision/HiLook models have a reset button — check your manual first.
✅ Method 2: Reset via Web Interface
- Open a browser and enter your device’s IP address
- Click “Forgot Password?” on the login screen
- Follow the prompts using security questions or email verification
Works only if recovery options were set up earlier.
✅ Method 3: Using Hikvision SADP Tool
- Download & install the SADP Tool on your PC
- Run the software to scan your network for Hikvision devices
- Select your device and click “Forgot Password”
- Export the reset XML file and send it to Hikvision support
- Upload the return reset key into SADP to unlock your system
⏳ Response from Hikvision support may take up to 24 hours.
Tip: If you’re unsure which method applies to your model, professional assistance is the safest way to restore access without losing recordings.
