However, the newer RoS versions fixed that and made it more secure. Otherwise, a reset (such as a netinstall) will reset the configuration as well. :( Sometimes you may have to have a backup plan in place, and build what you can to get it going and the customers after a reset.

They are both the 1009 and 1036 models. The documentation we received is inaccurate and the network is very complex. We're talking more than 1000 VLANs, ever router has a redundant router and ISP, bonds and bridges all over the place, sites all across the westerns states, etc. Sadly, due to its complexity I cannot reset the routers and just reconfigure. It appears the admin that was fired changed the ports and passwords to be able to access this equipment. Is there a way to reset the management settings (passwords, ports, etc) without completely defaulting the router? I have physical access to all of them. I've been reading up a lot on google and I'm not finding much help there. I appreciate any help anyone can offer for free. Thank you, Brett A Mansfield
