All the romon ports and all other normal ports used for management

wrong username/password
you should be able to romon or mac connect regardless, hopefully he
had romon on and once youre into one you can get into the rest

So I think I have the correct password, but no matter what I get
an error when connecting. I think he may have changed the
management ports. I should be able to log in via console and
change all of that there, correct?
If so I'll google the guide. My biggest question is if I try to
log in and the password is wrong will it tell my username and or
password is wrong or will it just say "error, cannot connect"?
Thank you,

OK, I am lazy, which means I use Winbox, and it has the password
stored for every Mikrotik I manage. Plus I use Winbox on
several computers - laptops, desktops, and computers I remote
into. I take it this guy was not similarly lazy? If I was the
fired ex-admin, all you would need is to find one of the
computers I used Winbox on. Even if it's not possible to
decrypt the stored passwords, you could Winbox into every
Mikrotik and change the password.
I guess real men use SSH and the CLI. Oh, and don't store the
credentials in their SSH client.
Note, it appears Winbox 3 stores the passwords as cleartext in
settings.cfg.viw.

Google for "mtpass". That will find the passwords in the backup
file.
If these backups contain the "old" OR the "new" password, when
you default/restore the backup, the password will be whatever is
in that file.
