I know there is a tool to figure out the reset passwords for hikvisions. However the new security requires sending an xml file. Is there a tool for that?

For generating the .xml? SADP will do it.

Or do you mean a tool that automatically generates codes without Hik intervention?

From my experience, you need to use Hik support for the latest-generation firmware (at least for the NVRs, haven't tried the cameras). There were some online tools that would let you input your S/N and system time and it would generate the key for you, but I couldn't get any of those to work in a recent go-around.

If you don't need to keep any of the data/config on the NVR you can do the sftp firmware upgrade trick/hack and reset the entire device that way.
