Crossroads Is locked ..

Fri Jul 25, 2008 6:57 am

So I'm new to Mikrotik .. I bought a Crossroads and was configuring it with Winbox ... The last thing ( I think I did ) was enable the wireless function and now I cant access the RB with Winbox or anything .. I tried the serial cable with a switch etc , you name it , I can get back in it ..

Strange thing is pressing the reset button on the card dosnt do a thing .. I tried many combos , like holding the button before powering up etc ... Nothing ..

Question is ... How do I restore Defaults on this thing ????

Thanks

you have to hold the button, then power it (keep holding) and wait until it fully boots, the software will be reset then (let go of the button) :)

but you should definitely see Something on the serial output, if it starts at all. make sure your cable is ok, and that you are using the correct baud rate

Strange ... No luck at all .. Cable is good .. Com pot settings good .. Blue power LED on .. the top green one just flashes on / off .. Seems to reboot normally . beeps are the same as when I unpacked it ..

Just cant get into it , reset it , or even see it in Winbox .. Is there anything that can be done from " The Dude " ??

Thanks

Bump

I have the same problem with a Crossroads - I'm confident I configured it with a password but now it's not responding to it or any password on my list (which I cut and paste) nor to the default no password at all. Winbox reports the correct IP address and board id when it tries to connect and v3.17 (which it came with) but as far as I can tell the so-called reset button is purely decorative and serves no function whatsoever - I've held it closed through an entire boot sequence and even a complete power cycle to no effect. It still reports the configured name and IP address and reports "wrong username or password" whatever I try.

I've also drawn a complete blank trying to access it via the serial port - I get no response whatsoever even though I've tried two different null-modem cables.

Looks like I have a heap of expensive, never-used junk courtesy of Mikrotik.

I'm sorry for causing confusion earlier, Crossroads doesn't have a RouterOS reset button. The button next to Serial port is for resetting BIOS (Bootloader) settings.

To reset the password, you have to use Netinstall and reinstall the RouterOS software.
