Set Password via Script

RouterOS General
1

Hello there,

i try to figure out the rules of passing a devices user password value via setup script.
s.th. like.

:global pw "xyz123"
/user add name=username passord=$pw disabled=no group=full

When using e.g. a 7 letter value, no problem arises.
But i wanted to setup something between 20 and 40 characters…this fails.
i can not login with the scripted character combination of alphabetic, alphanumeric and special characters .

Any help is very much appreciated.

Ok,
i experimented a bit further and it seems like one cannot use mutated vowels in terminal.
They’ll be just dropped. I had overlooked that detail…
