Re: [AFMUG] Weird Mikrotik issue

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?

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.
