My CCR2216 Restarts and changes password by itself

Lately I’ve been experiencing some weird actions on my CCR. The admin password has been reset very frequently and can discover how, after noticing I just change the password and later on happens again. Sometimes can take days to happen but can happen several times a day. I block all incoming new connections and have also filter from where to accept incoming connections. I have a PPPOE server running with over 1000 secret/usernames and do a lot of mangle.

I’ve heard others have had the same password reset problem but can confirm that. Don’t know how is happening. Only have ONE system user on the ccr. Can imagine is a software twitch or something.

Currently running routeos v7.18.2 and will be upgrading to 7.20 tonight.

Just wanted to know if anybody else has experienced the same problem, if so, were you able to find out what was causing the problem.

Thanks in advanced.

Hi,

I would

  • wipe out out the device to factory settings with NETINSTALL (!!!)
  • do not connect it to the LAN
  • set up a new user with admin rights with non trivial password, login and remove admin account
  • import old configuration or configure from scratch
  • connect to LAN
