How can I do a password recovery for a RouterBoard 200. I have tried reset CMOS and no luck.
Thank you in advance

you mean the admin password for RouterOS? simply reinstall RouterOS:

Routerboards are running the RouterOS operating system. So the password is the RouterOS password. There is no other password. To reset the password - follow the guidelines in the link i gave you

login: admin and no password. you have to configure the routerboard now as it has lost the settings. run the `setup` command. more info in the manual (you already have the link)

can't be. check if you are doing everything correctly. try to connect to the router directly from your windows computer - with a crossover cable router to PC. tell me if there are any error messages on the console of routerboard, or in netinstall.
