Note: It appears this script will no longer function on RouterOS v6.13 and above due to changes in the encryption system used (and the ability to define a password per backup).
This tool allows the retrieval of passwords from a MikroTik “.backup” file.
Note: Some newer RouterOS versions will display users such as “user-led” and “default”; these system users are not accessible via api/ftp/telnet/ssh/winbox.

for versi 6.13 not work
Hi Roes,
This is correct as per my update; v6.13 introduced an encrypted backup option which does not work with the password recovery service.

Does not work with 6.15 – 6.17
Hi Usama,
Unfortunately MikroTik updated the format after v6.13 to use a new method of encryption so this won’t work on backups taken after then.
I had a message to this effect on the page but have moved it to the top so it’s clearer now.
Kind Regards,

does not work with 6.11 – 6.12 &6.13 ccr
