(Urgent) Unable to access mikrotik

Tue Jan 24, 2023 7:34 pm

Hello experts,
My Mikrotik olt firewall has only API (for radius server) and winbox enabled.
Today i was setting my IP in winbox firewall. so that only this IP can access Mikrotik olt via winbox.
But I have added the wrong IP. and now I am unable to access it. Error: Connection refused.
Tried to connect via Mac address, still unable to access it.

Is there any way to access my OLT without resetting it?

*SSH is not enabled.

You should learn about SAFE MODE.

https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Console#Safe_Mode

If rommon/mac telnet er not enabled, then reset router, restore backup.

Why I created this article.......
viewtopic.php?t=181718

Basically besides use safe mode,
Take one port and remove it from the bridge.
add interface=etherX address=192.168.5.1/24 network=192.168.5.0

Then ensure in the input chain you have rule that you dont touch
add action=accept chain=input in-interface=etherX src-address=192.168.5.55 ( or any single IPV4 address you could stick into a laptop etc.)

Regardless what you do for other input chain rules etc.... that will always be available..........

Sometimes a console will safe your access;
e.g. use MT Woobm in the USB port if there is a USB connector, like on hAP ac2, hEX, Omnitk, and many others. Didn't try another USB-serial adapter, but should work as well.
