is there an easy way to reset password? #224

ok, so I was stupid enough, not to add the password to my KeePass database, and after flashing/configuring camera weeks ago, I left it in the drawer to wait for the day I'll be installing it in renovated room. today is that day and guess what - I can't login, because I don't remember the password... camera connects to my wifi, so it is configured correctly.

can I reset the password without reflashing? or even reflash won't help?

Hi, Re-flashing will help, to do so you will have to download an older version of the firmware, flash it and then re-flash the latest version. This is needed because the camera detects if you are trying to flash the same version and prevents it.

Another way could be to attach via UART to the camera and (if the autologin is enabled) change the password from there. But I'm sure it's easier to re-flash ;)
