Here are potential approaches:
Reset Button:
Many cameras have a physical reset button to restore factory defaults, including the password.
Consult the manual or search for your model online to locate the button.
Press and hold it for the specified time (usually around 10-30 seconds) until you observe an audible beep or light change.
Phone App:
Some Cobra camera apps offer password reset functionality within the app itself.
Download the app and see if it offers a password reset option.
Cobra Support:
Contact Cobra directly for assistance. They may have specific instructions or tools to reset the password based on your model.
Additional Considerations:
Model-Specific Instructions: Specific steps vary depending on the camera model. Provide the exact model number for more tailored guidance.
Legal and Ethical Implications: Be mindful of potential legal or ethical concerns associated with bypassing security features, especially if you're unsure of the cameras' previous ownership.
If standard reset methods fail, consider:
Professional Assistance: A professional camera technician might be able to access the system using specialized tools or firmware modifications.
Remember: Success is not guaranteed, especially with a broken monitor. If unable to reset the password, it might be necessary to obtain a replacement monitor or consider alternative security camera options.

1. Check for Default Passwords: Some cameras come with default passwords set by the manufacturer. You might find this information in the user manual, on the manufacturer's website, or by contacting their customer support.
2. Factory Reset: If default passwords are unavailable and the monitor part is broken, a factory reset might be necessary. Usually, cameras have a reset button that you can press to restore the device to its original settings.
3. Support from Manufacturer: Contact the camera's manufacturer for assistance. They might be able to guide you through the reset process or provide further support, especially if the cameras are equipped with advanced security features.
Again, ensuring the appropriate use of security and privacy measures is crucial, especially when dealing with pre-owned devices.
If you're uncertain about the camera's operation or the need for a password, seeking assistance from the manufacturer or visit professional in the field is advisable.
