I have a RB962UiGS-5HacT2HnT that I'm trying to do a factory reset on, but have not been successful.
The WebGUI just won't load (https://192.168.88.1) and when SSHing in as admin, it asks for password. I can't get in via WinBox either (won't accept password).
According to WinBox, it is running version 6.35.2 (stable).
Admittedly, the instructions in the documentation for factory reset are not clear:
The reset button has the following functions:
Hold this button during boot time until LED light starts flashing, release the button to reset RouterOS configuration (total 5 seconds).
So, which LED is it referring to? This device has a 8 LEDs - 2 for wi-fi, 5 for Ethernet; 1 for SFP ;1 for power. Which LED am I supposed to wait for?
I also googled this - found videos on youtube. All those videos have people resetting mikrotik devices with "ACT" and "USR" LEDs which this devicde does not have.
Anyway, I think I must be doing something right, because whenever I factory reset and try to SSH into it, my SSH client is complaining that the host key has changed, so some resetting is going on, but I must be making some mistake.
I also tried unplugging the power cable, holding down the "reset" button, then just waiting for over 2 mintues to try and get it to show up in the netinstall app as per instructions on this page

However I was not successful with that either (device doesn't show up).
