RB2011UiAS Reset Issue

Hardware MikroTik hardware general

Hi,
today I’ve locked myself out of my rb2011 during some firewall configuration :confused:

Well, happens. So I tried to reset to factory default using the reset button on the back and it doesn’t seem to work.
If I push the reset button right after I turn on power, it will get stuck in a “ether boot” mode. (That’s what it says on the screen.)

In the forum I’ve found this thread: http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/solved-rb2011uas-2hnd-reset-issue/61118/1 having similar issues.

I’d be very glad about any suggestions on how to reset and get access again.

One little update:

If I plug in a cable in eth1 while it is in “ether boot” the boot process finishes and the old configuration is loaded :confused:

you can use the led on the routerboard to load the default setthings:)

Thanks for the reply. I’ve got it working after some try and error.

just out of curiosity: how would i use a led to load the default configuration?
