admin user accidentaly deleted

Thu Oct 11, 2018 9:59 pm

Hello to all!:

Two questions:
1: My RB951G, keeps logging me off when I manage it via Webfig.

Can´t say Why, What can I check if it is working wrong?


2: I accidentally deleted the user admin, (I miss the little icon, and i touched remove), with so bad luck the in that very moment, the rb logged me off.
Quiestion is: restoring the last back up, brings the user admin alive? (the new user to access has only write permissions).

Thank you all!

If you have a backup saved (on the device or elsewhere), resetting it to factory defaults will re-create the admin user with default (no) password and not delete the backup file if it is on flash.
Once you set a new password for the admin user (or, better, add some other users with less well-known names and group=full, log in as one of them and disable user admin), you can restore the configuration from the backup.

Hello

Thing is, you can't delete admin unless you already have an account with full rights. Just recreate admin, give it a password and it's over :)

I believe he is admin user and he just deleted himself.

As I said, can't be done without another full admin.
