4. Password of Reolink Cameras

The password for the Reolink camera is the one you created when you configured the camera for the 1st time via Reolink App.

After you added the camera successfully to the Reolink App for the 1st time, there is no need to enter the password of the camera anymore when you log back into the app. It will only require the password again if you change the password of the camera, or the camera disconnects from the network for some reason and you can not access it anymore via Reolink App. Usually, it'll ask you to type in the password of the camera to sign in when you try to preview the camera.

The password of the Reolink App, Reolink Client, Reolink account and Reolink cameras are all separate. They are different things. You can also set them all to be the same one for convenience.
