As a security precaution, the FDT camera will lock
out any user who tries to log in with the wrong
password after a handful of consecutive attempts.
If you find that you accidentally locked yourself out,
you can wait 5 minutes to log back in, or you can
hard reset the camera by finding and pushing the
reset button (either on back of camera, or on a wire).
