Hikvision Password Reset Tool

Step 1: Hikvision Camera DVR and NVR Password Reset Android Tool This android tool will generate a Serial code which you may use to reset the admin password for a Hikvision camera DVR and NVR The code must be entered into the Hikvision SADP tool in the Serial code box or directly in local menu. I believe one got hacked because one day I found I could no longer access the streams remotely and the password that I'm 100% certain is the password I set is no longer accepted. These are the OCB-7208HQHI-K1 models. So, I downloaded the SADP tool from Hikvision and created the XML file as directed then emailed that to my local distributor.

I have several new HiKvision DVRS that I bought recently from an authorized dealer locally. I believe one got hacked because one day I found I could no longer access the streams remotely and the password that I'm 100% certain is the password I set is no longer accepted.
These are the OCB-7208HQHI-K1 models.
So, I downloaded the SADP tool from Hikvision and created the XML file as directed then emailed that to my local distributor.
He then sent the file to Hikvision and soon I received the response file.
However, the reset failed with code 2022 (I have no clue what that means)
The unit was never powered down, but no one at any time told me I had to leave the ethernet cable connected. But also, our network (like everyone elses) gets TONS of malicious traffic from China and other places so we block all Chinese IP addresses. So if this process requires allowing some place in China to connect to the DVR, that ain't happening. Not even sure if that occurs?
But as far as connections, I was only told not to 'power the unit down' until I get the XML file back and uploaded it.
So, it's been over a week now and the very reason I bought these (home security) has been thwarted by the unit getting hacked, then not being able to reset the password. I travel a lot and need to be able to view the cameras remotely.
Does anyone know specifically if it is essential to not only leave the unit powered, but also connected to the internet all the while until the reset XML file is received and uploaded?
I guess all I can do is try again.
All these hoops to jump through for the end user and the unit was still hacked.
Thanks,
Is all this really necessary?
I'm sure anyone's who been through this charade can feel my pain haha
PS. Love the DVR's otherwise.
