I recently changed the password on the mikrotik router and forgot it. (Is it possible to reset / restore it? For example, through netinstall.

Password recovery in RouterOS is not provided. Only hard reset (reset or netinstall).

If you logged in at least once through winbox, then it is in the winbox cache. In plain text :( I recently recovered a couple of passwords for devices that I was already mentally ready to reset.

There are two contacts on the board. Lock them up. But the whole configuration will be reset.

Send the last backup to Mikrotik support and they will recover the password. ;)
