Use the valid login and password. If you do not know it, you need to reset the device and use default admin with blank password.

mac-telnet from another MikroTik device or there is source code that will compile on Linux. You can recover anything as long as the interface is set up for mac-server on the non responsive device.

Of course I know the correct login credentials.. this is not the problem... If password / username was incorrect then winbox would tell me...
Reset to defaults is an easy solution, but not the 1st wished solution...

I didn't mention that the device shows 0.0.0.0 as it's AP address...

Guys,
He said that Winbox showed an error when he try to connect by MAC.
If you can't connect by MAC, there isn't another option. Unfortunately, you need to reset and lost all configurations.

Thanks Leandro, it seems that sometimes reading isn't as easy as it looks like
Indeed WInBox gave me an error...
I gave up and did a factory reset.
Everything is back to normal now.

I didn't read it that way. Said he couldn't connect with Winbox even though he sees a MAC. Not that he specifically tried by MAC with Winbox.
It's kinda funny how english is being changed by people who didn't learn english as their first language. It's the way of the world I guess.

Here is a Mikrotik forum, not an English forum, man.
Note I helped him with the only possible option to solve his problem. And with bad english! xD
I finish my collaboration on this topic!

Funny how people just guess if I tried something or not...
And yes, indeed English is not my native language, I am just a bloody Dutchman...
Thanks guys! The link is up and running as we want it now...
