Password Recovery

In the event that the System Administrator forgot, does not know, or needs to reset the Administrator login for their Digital Watchdog built, DW Blackjack® unit, a special request must be submitted for a password recovery.

This article will outline the information required for a Password Reset Form.

NOTE: If the DW Spectrum® IPVMS program was installed on a custom built (not manufactured by Digital Watchdog) computer, the DW Spectrum® program will need to be clean reinstalled to apply a new password to the system.

Supported / Affected Devices:

DW Blackjack® Series

Default Login

Before submitting a Password Reset Form, please attempt to log in to DW Spectrum® with the default login.
