Here you can find a DVR default password list for the most models.
Be aware that for the new DVR models, some manufacturers changed the way the password is handled and you have to create a new one during the setup.
This list was updated in 2020 and it's working. Here it is...

If the brand is not on the list you can contact the manufacturer and ask for help.
For some high-end products there's no DVR default password list and you need to call or write to the local technical support team.
Here's a quick list of the most common high-end DVR manufacturers.
For the generic DVRs (non-branded) you can try the process described in my other article How to reset H.264 Network DVR.
