RECOVERING A PASSWORD

Upon request, Pelco can issue a password recovery code that is valid for 24 hours, on the machine for which it was issued only. To do so, the original buyer of the system (typically the dealer) must contact Pelco Technical Support. The serial number and order number (or invoice number) under which the unit was originally purchased, as well as the MAC address and exact date/time listed on the password recovery screen must be provided. This must be done in writing, by fax, and the request must be accompanied by a letter from the current owner of the system stating the following information under penalty of perjury:

•He/she is the legal owner of the system.

•The password for the system was lost.

•He/she is requesting a password reset.

Pelco will then issue a reset code that can be used for 24 hours, with the provided MAC address only.

(If possible) Use company letterhead to submit all information (the exact time, the mac address, and so forth) detailed on the “password recovery,” including the bulleted information above.
