Change login password

RouterOS General
1

Hello Everyone,

I was just wondering if there is any way to change the password on a MT router locally via a CLI interrupt during the boot process. Same sort of thing you would do on a Sophos firewall if the admin password no longer works because some disgruntled employee decided to change it then leave and at the same time trash the backups.

I know this is a very easy process with that type of appliance but you need to be local and hooked into the unit for this to work.

Regards,

I’m afraid there’s no way of doing it. Interrupting the boot process will let you set some low level parameters, but nothing else.

Try to negotiate with the former employee, good luck with that.

I would suggest you review your config backup strategy, which you probably decided to do by now :frowning:

You could send therm to yourself as emails and archive therm on. a server, for two sources of backups.

Good luck.
