Here is what you have to do to remove the Master Password or FileVault password: Make sure you follow Step one before Step two !! Important Caution: Before you do that you must disable FileVault (if it is enabled) as you will see below.If you do not disable FileVault, you will lose access to your Home Folder since there is no private key to open it. The Master Password is basically similar to a super user password. You can use it to reset the password and gain access to your home folder even if it is protected with encryption.”This provides protection for users who forget their login password”. So, if your Hikvision NVR/DVR or IP camera is the new generation, they don’t have any default password. This is the recommended more secure practice and plays a part in preventing hacking attacks. Note that the Master Password is used as a “safety net” in case you cannot access the computer and you need to reset the password of any user. Hikvision forces you to set a unique and strong password when you first activate your camera or recorder. there is a small button next to remove account button from where you can set or change a Master password. However, in Mountain Lion, you can access the Master Password screen from Users & Groups preference pane. In Leopard, it used to be accessed through the FileVault preference pane. The place of accessing that password has changed from Leopard to Mountain Lion (I don’t know about Lion!).
