Most of the settings are not bound to your account, they're bound to
the modem itself. Creating a new account should be as simple as:<br>
<br>
<tt>/user add group=full name=<NAME> password=<PASSWORD></tt><br>
<br>
If you want to add SSH key-authentication to the account, you'll
need to put the key file on the modem first, via<br>
<br>
<tt>/tool fetch url=<a href="https://some.website/your.key" target="_blank">"https://some.website/your.key"</a><br>
<br>
</tt>or use <a href="https://winscp.net/eng/download.php" target="_blank">scp</a> to copy it, or
use winbox to drag and drop the file into the modem's "File"
section.<br>
<br>
Once the file is there, you associate it with your account like so:<br>
<br>
<tt>/user ssh-keys import user=<NAME>
public-key-file=<KEY_FILENAME></tt><br>
<br>
When your account has a key authentication method like this,
password authentication for SSH is disabled. However, you can
override that and preserve password auth by setting:<br>
<br>
<tt>/ip ssh set always-allow-password-login=yes</tt><br>
<br>
Once your new account is verified to work, you can erase the admin
account:<br>
<br>
<tt>/user remove admin</tt><br>
