PC/x86 lost password and how to upgarde by netinstall on IDE memory

Wed Jan 06, 2016 2:22 pm

Hi to everyone,
I have an PC/X86 with routerOs 3.11L4 installed on IDE memory module, which worked excellent for about 8 years. Unfortunately I forgot my admin password to connect to it recently, and I can't change any settings anymore.
So as I read in documents I just add another HDD to the system with win7 and run netinstall on it to upgarde the memory module and reset the configuration too.

But unfortunately Windows can not detect my IDE memory card format and so netinstall does not list it on router/drives list to further anymore :?

What I have to do now? I don't want to format the memory card and lost the license! :o

Any advise would be welcome and thanks in advance :(

Ok. I installed the router OS v4.17 from CD iso image. But in the license dialog box, there is just a new soft-ID level 4, and no more information about the expiration or any other things. Is it means that I must purchase a new license?

anybody could advise me, please?
