A tool which exploits a backdoor in Hikvision camera firmwares circa 2014-2016 ([ICSA-17-124-01](http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2017/Sep/23)) to help the owner change a forgotten password.

## Usage

Download from [the releases tab](https://github.com/bp2008/HikPasswordHelper/releases) and run the exe.

There are 5 simple steps to reset a password, and you can even skip steps 3 and 4 in many cases.

If your firmware is too old to use this method to reset a lost password, you can try the reset code method:

If your firmware is too new, then I'm afraid you are out of luck because the reset code method won't work either.
