It will not even keep a changed password on the admin user. This happened new out of the box. We have 100’s of CCR’s and never have come across 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. On 3/7/2017 8:17 PM, Andreas Wiatowski wrote: 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.
