How to load the default configuration?

Mon Mar 20, 2023 11:24 am

Set-up: Mikrotik router 5009 with OS 7.8 and WinBox

With the very first start of the router I had the choice to download the default configuration, which was helpful. Now I need to reset everything (..start from the scratch - typical newcomer problem) and for that reason I tried a factory reset: As in the manual descriped, I push the reset button and then I plug-in the power and wait until the green LED starts flashing. Then I release the reset button and wait until the restart of the router has been finished. The result is that all kind of configurations (except the download of the packages) have been cancelled, BUT there is NO default configuration loaded.
I can't find a way to load the default configuration neither with a reset nor with any other kind of a function.
I appreciate a support.
Thank you.
Michael

just use winbox/webfig and go on system / reset configuration and click on "reset configuration" without selecting any option

if you are unable to access again the device with winbox or webfig, search the instructions of how do a netinstall
