Password change problem

RouterOS Scripting
1

I have a .rsc that I am using flashfig to put on Grooves. Groove is on 6.13 and everthing works perfectly except I need to change the default admin user password from blank to a new password. I am banging my head against the wall.

I actually figured this out on my own.

This line:
/password old-password=“” new-password=“MadeupP@ss” confirm-new-password=“MadeupP@ss”

Is used to change the password for the currently logged in user. Best guess is that when using flashfig, that you are not actually logging into the unit therefore there is no currently logged in user to change the password for.

By changing it to this:
/user set admin password=MadeupP@ss

I was able to flashfig my groove radios and change the admin password. :slight_smile:

/user set admin password=abc123

Thanks for the response, I had already posted that I had it figured out but my post had to be approved by moderator.
