I only knew because it started getting DHCP when it had previously been static...but it definitely worked.  It did take me a few tries to get it right.

Is there a way to tell, via Light sequence or something, if the default actually worked?  I've tried several times over the years to do the default via power cycle, and I don't think it's ever worked for me, I always get fed up and go find something to stick in the reset hole.  I even pulled out my stopwatch to time the power on/off sequence.

Default it again with the power plug method?  Maybe it's only at partial defaults.

We had a cable on a tower that had come loose in some strong winds and rubbed through the jacket probably shorting out a bunch of wires inside the cat5 (not actually breaking).  Remarkably, the Ethernet port on the mikrotik was still negotiating 1G, even through there was no RX Traffic from the AP.  When we got the cable fixed, the EPMP AP (1000 series) appears to be at default settings, but I can't log into it.  The Login page comes up, but it returns invalid user/password.  I'm trying admin/admin.  The AP is at it's default name in a Neighbor list, and it's requesting a DHCP Address which is not how it was before the cable problem. SSH doesn't allow login either.  Tried setting the AP to different IP Addresses via DHCP, and can always get to the HTTP Page, but can't log in.

We tried doing the default via power sequence on the tower before replacing it, and that didn't seem to help. (Of course there's no way to see if it actually worked either)  Is there anything I should look at before trying a reset via the reset button on the bench?

When we first got the cable replaced, the AP grabbed a public DHCP Address, Could it have been hacked in the 10 minutes it was on that public IP Address?  Are there cambium scanning bots flying around the interwebs.  Or do the SSH Commands for login and changing the password match some other bot scan.
