I routinely delete it. I usually add a new full access user, then login
with the new user to verify it works, then delete admin. Done it
hundreds of times.

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?

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????
