Password change of IPC2835 through CLI

[gauravrana]

I want to change the password of admin account of IPC2835 from the CLI Is there any way?

[Scott Olsen]

I don't *think* there is a way to perform this change from the CLI... I'll look deeper here in a minute.

Is the camera currently registered with a VSOM 7.X instance?  If so, is it using the 'admin' account?  If that's the case, VSOM can also change the password on the endpoint as well.

Took me awhile, buutttttt.... 

... if you have root access to a busy box shell via SSH, try the following:

strings /usr/apps/.user.txt

(note the leading DOT in .user.txt)

Cheers ;-)

Yes I have root access of the camera via ssh but if I run the string that recommended by you it gives below error message.

# /usr/apps/.user.txt
-sh: /usr/apps/.user.txt: Permission denied

My actual is that I have a IPC 2835 camera which is pinging and ssh root accessed also webpage of the camera opens but if I enter default username password of camera password change page opened but if I enter new password than account is not initialized. I also attached some screenshot for reference.

This doesn't make any sense.  If you haven't successfully set the initializing page on first visit to the camera, I'm not sure how you have managed to get SSH access to the camera.

Also, you don't appear to be executing anything at all on the shell of the camera.  You are missing the strings command.  It should be:

#strings /usr/apps/.user.txt

If this still fails, something else is definitely wrong and I would recommend a physical factory reset of the endpoint.
