Hello,
i purchased second hand on ebay a Routerboard 1100Ahx4 dude edition, i reset the unit and now i cant login the unit.
as i read in the internet there is no standard default password anylonger... i have the serial number of my unit, is there a way to get the password again or this Routerboard 1100Ahx4 dude edition is trash now?
Best regards
Try netinstall
There never was a default password... so.. no password at all.
Have you tried "admin" without a password?
Check the "internet sources," they're just bullshit.
Assuming you reset it correctly,
Either the password is on the sticker (if any, but all "RB1100AHx4 D.E." I know are from v6 RouterOS, not v7),
or there is NO password.
Alternatively, if a branding package has been installed,
a different password is always applied upon reset,
so there's also the possibility of the device being stolen.
So the only valid alternative if "admin" does not work without a password,
is to do a netinstall by unchecking "Keep Branding" otherwise the branding password will be applied anyway.
I don't think that a second hand Routerboard 1100 Ahx4 dude edition is one of the "new" devices that come with password from factory.
It is much more likely that previous user has set a login/password.
A normal reset won't remove/change that.
BUT - independently from your current password issue - the "standard practice" when getting a second hand device (quite a few people will do the same even on brand new devices) is to do a Netinstall (that normally does allow resetting the password to admin/blank) as to avoid possible (accidental or intentional) corruptions of the OS .
Thanks a lot guys... resetting a second ime made the user admin and password empty working!!
what happens if i upgrade to 7.23? will the user and password be changed when resetting or will stay admin / empty?
best regards
Please read the users posts...
NO PASSWORD ON LABEL = NO PASSWORD
and use netinstall for install 7.23 for be sure:
