Want to enforce password change? Weird but alright, enforce it but don't allow the process to be interrupted or skipped and be very clear and display alerts. If Mikrotik turns into Apple wanting to dictate users how to use or not use devices they purchased, they should at absolute minimum do a great job on their part. This thread also mentions that password changing screen is skippable viewtopic.php?f=1&t=178144 Heck, if something is skippable it's expected to be skipped with no massively negative consequences. How do i reclaim admin access to my devices? Tried older winbox with legacy mode, tried power cycling device and blocking access to NTP server to make it think it's 1970. It's quite obvious v6.49 acts shady like this due to design decision or a bug. What I am trying to hint here is that there is no realistic way someone else logged in and set a password. Same story happened on one other physical device and one virtual CHR that was being powered off in meantime. That repeated several times.Īfter a while I attempted to log into the same device again and was rejected with a message "invalid username or password" (via winbox / webfig / ssh / telnet). I cancelled the screen and continued, minding my own business and agenda. After upgrade complete i still logged in fine with default login, to be greeted with a skippable screen suggesting setting a new password. I was running v6.48 with default login (user: admin, pass: ) in safe controlled environment and decided to upgrade to v6.49.
