Reolink NVR Login Password
The Reolink NVR login password is the password you created when initially configuring the NVR. Regardless of which software you use to log into the NVR, you will need to enter the NVR login password. After entering the Reolink NVR login password, you can check the cameras added to the NVR.

Reolink NVR Lockscreen Password
The Reolink NVR lockscreen password is the same as the NVR login password, which is the password created during the initialization of the NVR. If you enable the Auto-Lock feature, an account username and password will be required for verification to unlock the screen and access the NVR.

Login Password for the Connected Camera
If your camera has been configured before you add it to the Reolink NVR, you will need to enter the camera's login password on the NVR monitor(that is the monitor connected to the NVR with the HDMI/VGA cable) to add it to the NVR. Please refer to: How to Modify Camera's Password via Reolink NVR (New UI)
You can create or change the login password for the camera on the NVR monitor. Note: When a camera and NVR are on the same local network (not necessarily directly connected), and the Auto Add function on the NVR is enabled, the camera that is not initialized will be immediately detected by the NVR and assigned a random password as long as it is powered on.
