How do I set an administrator (admin) password on my DCS-5020L?

Note: mydlink Cloud Service registration requires the admin password

Step 1: Open a web browser and enter the IP address of the camera in the address bar (default is 192.168.0.20). Press Enter.

Step 2: The default username is admin and the password field should be left blank. Click OK.

Step 3: Click the Maintenance tab at the top and then click Admin from the menu on the left-hand side.

Step 4: To change the administrator password, enter the existing administrator password (leave blank if you have not changed it from the default), and enter a new password in the New Password field under the Admin Password Setting section. You will need to type the new password again in the Retype Password field.

Step 5: Click Save to save the configuration.
