The account has been blacklisted.

This is what appears when I try to log into a DVR interface. I traveled to a location to install a new camera (I swapped between two different cameras before realizing the cable was the issue as to why neither were lighting up, I don't know if that would trigger anything), I did not get into the interface much, if at all, I had someone assisting me at the home office who said they could see the interface of the ip cam itself and said they would import/configure the rest while I moved onto the next dvr at a different location. They had said they tried to login once and this was the error message they received on the very first login attempt and that it hadn't shown any login attempts remaining. They stated that they talked with the person on site and had them reboot this dvr but it's still giving this error message. I do not currently have physical access to this dvr. I can call and attempt to walk someone who doesn't know much about technology about through what to do if I can figure out what I need to do, but I'm not sure how to resolve the error as is. How would I go about clearing this error or resetting the amount of tries needed? As shown, this is for the admin account.

If Caused by entering bad password too many times, wait for it to expire. Usually default in 30-60 minutes

If it’s IP blacklisted it won’t clear, try access from another network

If you’re port forwarding it will get hacked quickly
 
The lockout hasn't expired. If it is IP blacklisted, how would that have happened, and is there no other way to access it other than putting it on a separate network?
 
No, changing the NVR network won’t change/help anything if is an IP lockout.

The IP of the device trying to access the NVR is theoretically blacklisted by the NVR.

You would need to access the NVR from a different network than what you were on when you got the error warning

What’s concerning to it says “the account” is blacklisted

It may have already been hacked

I would unplug it from the Internet, give it time, say 60 minutes, and try to login via the console, direct machine interface with a mouse and monitor connected to it

If you can’t do that physically , have someone turn it OFF at the power button and turn it back on.

Can you access the login screen after that?
