Admin Password | Superviewer

The "SuperViewer" software, primarily associated with the Mitratech Suite (formerly Secretariat), uses specific credentials for administration and guest access. The standard credentials documented for SuperViewer are: Guest Login Name: svguestuser Guest Password: sv$guestuser#10 Administrative Access Details

According to the SuperViewer Administrator Guide, there are two primary ways to manage access: Multiple User Mode:

Accessed via a URL like http://://svlogin.htm.

Requires a unique login and password assigned by the system administrator. Open Site (Single User Mode):

Administrators can enable an "Open Site" option which allows all users to access the platform without providing a user ID or password.

This is accessed via the svopen.htm file (e.g., http://server1:8080/suite8/svopen.htm).

Important Note: If you are using a different "SuperViewer" product (such as the SuperView 4K hardware by Syscomtec), administrative access typically requires a password set during initial setup in the Administrator Tab of the system terminal. Administrator Pages - Mitratech Success Center

When looking for the "SuperViewer" admin password, the specific credentials depend on which software or hardware you are using. "SuperViewer" is a name used by several different technical tools.

Here are the most common default login details for systems named SuperViewer: 1. Mitratech SuperViewer (Suite Manager) superviewer admin password

For the Mitratech Suite Manager’s SuperViewer tool, access is typically managed through credentials created within the Suite Manager itself. A standard guest account often used for initial testing or basic access is: Login Name: svguestuser Password: sv$guestuser#10 2. RGB Spectrum SuperView 4K

If you are using the SuperView 4K multiviewer hardware, "Administrator Mode" is used for system configuration.

Default Password: Check your specific unit's documentation, as many industrial video processors require an initial setup where a password is first defined by the user.

Access: This is usually accessed via the Setup Administrator tab in the control software. 3. General Troubleshooting for Unknown "SuperViewer" Apps

If you are using a different generic CCTV or file-viewing app named SuperViewer:

Common Defaults: Try the industry standards: admin for the username and admin, 12345, or leaving the password blank.

Physical Labels: Many hardware devices have the unique default password printed on a product sticker located on the bottom or back of the unit.

Manuals: If the device was provided by a security company, the default is often listed in the "Default Account" section of the User Manual. Close Superviewer completely (check the system tray near

Security Note: If you are using a default password, it is highly recommended to change it immediately to secure your system. If you have forgotten a custom password, you may need to perform a factory reset (often a physical button on hardware) to return to these default settings.

Method 2: Deleting the Configuration File (Software-Only Reset)

If you are using Superviewer without a physical DVR card (pure software mode), the password is stored in a local file.

Step-by-Step Guide:

Close Superviewer completely (check the system tray near the clock and right-click "Exit").
Navigate to the Superviewer installation directory. Usually:
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Superviewer\
- C:\Superviewer\
Look for a file named config.dat, user.dat, setup.ini, or sv.ini.
Rename these files (e.g., change config.dat to config_old.dat). Do not delete them immediately—renaming acts as a backup.
Also check the C:\Windows\System32\ folder for sv.ini or dvr.ini (older versions stored credentials here).
Restart Superviewer. The software will generate fresh configuration files with default settings.
Try logging in with admin / 123456.

Warning: This method will erase all your camera settings, motion detection zones, and recording schedules. You will need to reconfigure your cameras from scratch.

3. Perform a Hard Factory Reset (Last Resort)

This will wipe all settings and return the admin password to default.

Method A: Physical Reset Button

Power off the DVR.
Open the case and locate a small button (often black or white) labeled "Reset" or "SW1."
Press and hold the button while powering on the device. Hold for 10-15 seconds.
The unit will beep or reboot. Release the button.

Method B: BIOS/Battery Reset (For advanced users) " "CLR CMOS

Unplug the DVR.
Open the case and remove the CMOS battery (silver coin cell) from the motherboard.
Wait 5 minutes, then reinstall the battery.
This clears the BIOS password, resetting the admin to default.

E. Keep a Physical Log

For businesses, keep a sealed envelope with the admin password in a secure physical location (e.g., a safe). Update it every time the password changes.

Part 3: How to Reset the Superviewer Admin Password (Step-by-Step)

If the default passwords fail, you are locked out. Do not panic. Superviewer does not have a "Forgot Password" button like modern cloud software, but it does have a hardware reset and file-manipulation method.

Forgetting Admin Password

Password Reset: If you've forgotten the admin password, most software solutions offer a way to reset it. Check the official SuperViewer documentation or support pages for instructions on how to reset the admin password.
Contact Support: If you're unable to find a straightforward method to reset the password, contacting SuperViewer's support team can provide personalized assistance.

Method 1: Using the DVR Card’s Physical Jumper (For PCI-E DVR Cards)

Many Superviewer systems run on dedicated PCI-E video capture cards. These cards have a small jumper on the circuit board.

Steps:

Power down your computer completely.
Open the computer case and locate the DVR card.
Look for a 2-pin or 3-pin jumper labeled "RESET," "CLR CMOS," or "DEFAULT."
Move the jumper from its default position (e.g., pins 1-2) to the reset position (pins 2-3).
Power on the computer for 10 seconds, then power off.
Return the jumper to its original position.
Boot up normally. The admin password should now be 123456.

Default Admin Credentials for Superviewer Systems

Before you try anything else, attempt these factory default username and password combinations. They are case-sensitive:

Important: If the system prompts you to create a password on first boot, the default will not work. You must use the password you set during initial setup.

B. Disable Remote Access If Not Needed

If you do not use the Superviewer mobile app or web viewer, disable UPnP and port forwarding on your router. Go to Network Settings in Superviewer and uncheck "Enable Remote Access."
