Hello
So i’ve lost the password of a user on my Routerboard RB750Gr3 that have full access of the router which leave me with user that only have read permission, my question is, is it possible to retrieve that full control user password ?, is there a command line, method or anything. I’ve tried to reset the router, but when i press the reset button the USR led indicator doesn’t even blinking.
Thanks in advance.
Nope.
That’s the whole point of having a password.
If you have read permission, see if you can export full config (export ! Not backup …)
Move export to computer.
Check completeness of that export.
Reset device properly (if needed, netinstall).
Default entry will be admin / blank passwd again
Then re-import export using terminal, block by block, really paying attention to what you bring back in (in order to avoid to bring in malicious code, just in case, or settings which would lock you out again).
@glendj15 you omitted the RouterOS version.
If necessary, and if one knows how to do it, at most one can delete the password. The password cannot be recovered.
I’m certainly not going to write this on the forum, or even in private or elsewhere, but knowing Linux is enough…
Unless you have activated protected-routerboot…
Plausibly it cannot be: If he have lost the password and can still log in with the other account…
But not as admin.
So locked out.
It’s about this:
not about to be locked out or not.
“Regular” export do not export users, at least “user” export export user without password,
so if the user can access the device, can’t be locked for a settings inside the export.
There is a reason you have a login with READ ONLY… Nice try!
