What if I forget the Admin password for my camera?
(How do I reset my camera to factory default settings?)
Note: After a factory reset you will need to re-register the camera with mydlink. Do not unplug the power during this procedure.
Step 1: With the unit on, place a paper clip into the hole on the back on the unit labeled Reset.
Step 2: Use the paperclip to press the button inside the hole for 10 seconds and release.
Step 3: The unit will then reboot. Once the LED light on the front of the unit stops blinking, the unit is reset and all settings are restored to their defaults.
