going on 3 years old.

You could also rename the "admin" user, but I suspect deleting it is
disallowed in RouterOS and as a failsafe, it is simply recreating it.
Alternative fact?

I've never deleted the 'admin' account because of stupid crap like
this. Could you imagine this happening after upgrading a whole bunch
of important routers? That would suck. I'd say set a very strong
password for the admin user and leave it alone. But that's just me.
What version of RouterOS is this again? There was a problem on the
tile arch quite a while ago where IIRC, you'd set the admin password
and it'd be gone after a reboot. I think that was back in the 6.10's
or 20's.

Nope…add in a terminal session with full rights. My new users are
created. If I leave the default admin in with no password…I can
return using the new login and pass. The second I delete the admin
account…next time I return the new users are wiped out and the admin
account is back in place.

Just to cover the dumb questions:
How's connectivity to it? Winbox could act funny if there's packet
loss....in which case changing it via CLI might work.
Somebody isn't changing the password in "safe" mode are they?

Subject: [AFMUG] Weird Mikrotik issue
We have one router that can’t seem to get a password to stick in
a CCR router.
Even if I change the password in this router is defaults back to
no password? Anyone ever see this????
