I am suddenly unable to login to my Mikrotik router (via winbox), which means I can't diagnose why it's stopped working. I have tried various methods, including hyperterminal and telnet, but I'm hampered by lack of serial cable (I've been trying via ethernet cable) and lack of technical knowledge. I live in the bush in Africa (no shops to buy a serial cable) and would love some advice on what to do. I think perhaps I need to reset the login and password, but no idea how.

What happens when you try to log in? Can you ping it?

Download neighbor viewer and try it.
