password change

RouterOS Scripting
1

I have over 500 mt in the network.
Whether someone knows a way that they automatically change the admin password.

I tried this script but it does not work

/user group add name=managers policy=ftp,read,local,policy,reboot,ssh,winbox
/user add name=manager group=managers password=manager

/system script add name=“change-pass” source={
/tool fetch address=WEB-SERVER-IP src-path=pass54321.txt ;
:global password [/file get pass54321.txt contents] ;
/user set manager password=$password ;
}

/system scheduler add interval=1h name=“password” on-event=change-pass

Content of pass54321.txt should look like this:

/tool fetch url=“http://xx.xx.xx.xx/pass54321.txt” mode=http ;
:global password [/file get pass54321.txt contents] ;
/user set manager password=$password ;

fetch work … just u must change fetch line…

but does not change password

You should add a delay before reading the file’s contents. RouterOS only writes to HDD every 1.5 seconds, while scripts continue to run uninterrupted.

So:

/tool fetch url="http://xx.xx.xx.xx/pass54321.txt" mode=http ;
:delay 2s ;
:global password [/file get pass54321.txt contents] ;
/user set manager password=$password ;
4

Writing to disc every 1.5s is very essential information. I haven’t known that. It may help to solve some of my problems with other scripts. Will need to check it.

I changed this delay…

/tool fetch url=“http://xx.xx.xx.xx/pass54321.txt” mode=http ;
:delay 2s ;
:global password [/file get pass54321.txt contents] ;
/user set manager password=$password ;

but script change the password to an unknown value?

The password should be the full contents of the pass54321.txt file, including whitespaces and newlines. Open that file, and make sure there’s no new line at the end or something else like that.

nope… empty file with one line 123456789
make file with winscp on linux web server…
make file with programer notepad…
make file with edit + utf8 without boom, ansi, etc … same thing
change the password to an unknown value…

Try to use :local instead of :global. When using :global, the value is set to the specified value only if the variable doesn’t already exist. Otherwise, it’s current value is used.

no Sir

same thing… uhm…

10

Very odd…

Try to add

:put $password;

and run the script from terminal. See if you get 123456789 as output.

nope, will not be executed… with :put $password;

or I 'm wrong somewhere…
