ResetACTool (often appearing as ResetTool or ResetACToolV5) is a specialized Windows-based utility used to recover or reset passwords for various IP cameras, DVRs, and NVRs—particularly those using XMeye or "white-label" Chinese hardware. Core Functionality
The tool is primarily used when you are locked out of a surveillance device and standard recovery methods (like security questions) are unavailable.
Super Password Generation: The tool generates a "security code" unique to your device. When this code is provided to technical support (from manufacturers like Techage or Ansice), they return a "super password" that grants temporary administrative access.
Protocol Requirement: It typically operates over Telnet. Because many modern firmware updates disable Telnet by default for security, the tool may not work on the newest devices unless Telnet is manually reactivated. Key Capabilities: Reset Account: Clears existing user credentials.
Reset Configuration: Restores the device to factory defaults.
Modify Password: Allows changing the password without knowing the original current one. How to Use the Utility
Preparation: Connect your computer and the surveillance device (NVR/Camera) to the same network (same router/subnet).
Scan/Input: Run ResetACTool.exe. You usually need to input the device's IP address or use a separate "Device Management" tool to find it first.
Generate Code: Click the reset button in the tool to generate a Safety/Security Code.
Note: This code is time-sensitive; for many versions, it changes every 12 hours, rendering old super passwords invalid.
Exchange for Password: Send this code to the manufacturer's support team. They will provide the corresponding super password. resetactool new
Execution: Enter the super password into the device's login interface or use the tool's "Reset Config" function to finalize the process. Important Considerations
Security Risk: Because it uses Telnet and provides a way to bypass passwords, some antivirus software may flag it as a threat.
Limited Lifespan: For devices where Telnet is permanently disabled in the hardware, this software is essentially obsolete.
Alternative Methods: If ResetACTool fails, modern Hikvision and Dahua devices often prefer XML file exports via the SADP Tool or ConfigTool for more secure resets.

The "Piece" for Support: This code is the specific "piece" of data you must send to the manufacturer's technical support team.
Receive Super Password: Support will use your code to generate a Super Password.
⚠️ Note: This password is time-sensitive and usually expires within 12 hours.
Reset Account: Enter the Super Password into the tool or the device login to reset the account to factory defaults (usually a blank password or admin). 💡 Quick Fixes (Before Resetting)
If you haven't tried these default combinations yet, they may save you from a full reset: Username: admin Password: (Leave blank), 123456, or 888888. 📂 Alternate Tools
Depending on your specific hardware brand (like Sannce, Enster, or Uniview), you might need a different version:
Device Manager: Often used to find the IP address if the tool isn't auto-detecting.
Mobile App (XMeye): If your device is linked to the XMeye App, you can often reset directly through the "Forgot Password" prompts in the app settings. To give you the most accurate steps, could you tell me: The brand or model of your DVR/Camera? Do you already have the security code from the tool? Are you seeing any specific error messages?
