Reset Not Working RBD52G-5HacD2HnD

RouterOS General

Dear folks,

Please urgently advise on how to go about resetting the mikrotik to factory default with username as admin and no password.

This is a brand new router, I was able to log into it the first time via winbox but after a reset (switched off, hold the res button and power in) USR flashes and stopped, I got IP address of 192.168.101.1

I have repeated necessary steps to get this router to reset so that I can use the 192.168.88.1 default without password to log back but to no avail.

Anyone with this issue or advise on how to resolve this.

thank you

I have a similar problem with brand new RB951 with routers 6.49.13: the router correctly provides a DHCP address in the subnet 192.168.88.0/24 but when I log in with credentials “admin/no password” it does not allow me to access, both with Winbox and SSH.

Cannot sat specifically about the ac2, but newish Mikrotik routers come with a user admin and a “random” password preset.
The password is (un-[1]) readable both on a sticker on the device and on a label attached to the instructions.
AFAIK the reset should get back to those values.

My fault,
the label on the back of the product shows, in very small print, the password to use …
