Perform a reset of each camera, this will vary by model. In a nutshell, you'll need to literally get hands-on with each cam, hold down the reset button while cycling the power to it. Then begin the process of adding them to the new NVR
 
I did just that and they show up on the sadp as active but I have no picture on the monitor,well 3 cams dhow up and the settings are identical to all the others but just 3
 
Asking for payment for services and help that forum members freely give isn't just against the ethos of what happens here, but is also against the membership rules.
Please desist from such requests.
how to do this procedure for free? may i ask you to provide some link to post, please? cant find anything about.
UPD: probably, i have misunderstood of topicstarter: they asking to reset password of camera devices. I thought his asks to unbind devices from Hik-Connect cloud.
 
Free method require installer account on HPP. It is always free for authorized installers/distributers and not for end users.

You can either Reset or unbind via it.

If you have an installer account, either help a men or don't. Taking money for a minute job is extorsion.

In my case i have distributer level account plus access to reset server, but i have decide not to use for 3rd party users(Not even paid service). This is against NDA.

Well the 'reset' part is done. Now they need to be added to the NVR.

You never shared make/model of the equipment... that information would be helpful
