To ensure the highest level of protection, Hikvision requires users to create a new password for the admin account upon first login to a device. The system will check the password strength; “Risky” passwords will not be accepted.

LONGER HAVE A DEFAULT PASSWORD. The user must activate the DVR/NVR by creating a password for the admin account in one of four ways:

- A message will appear, prompting user to activate the device.

- The username field will be greyed-out with the username set to admin.

2. Type in a password of your choosing (see “Password Strength Levels” table for guidelines).

• Level 3–Strong (blue indicator): Acceptable

- Activation will not be allowed unless the password is of acceptable strength.
