Mikrotik rebooted itself and after that the password from the admin does not fit, what was it?

Question

Mikrotik

I left the computer, I'm sitting in the kitchen and I hear one short squeak from Mikrotik, like during a reboot. Well, I think, I launched a lot of torrents for downloading and failed, the old one became, although it doesn’t look like it.
Two short beeps, indicating a full launch, occurred about a minute later. I remember that Mikrotik had holes, I remember that my firmware was not the first freshness, so I decided to go into winbox and look at the logs. And then I see that the password does not match. I drive in the default admin and an empty password - it doesn't work either.
Well, what happened with me, reset the config and booted from the April backup.
It's time to update the firmware and then I see that I have the latest - 6.42.7 Auto-
update was disabled for me, it was last updated in the first decade of this year.
What was it? A hard update from Mikrotik or some kind of Robin Hood, who received a login-password through bugs and updated the firmware?

Answer 1

It was updated for you after the vulnerability was exploited. To monopolize the device and not compete with anyone.
Don't forget to change your password.
