Edit: I've found the supervisor password on v14 by using "dumpmdm" in telnet
. I right clicked a command prompt's window title bar, went to Properties, Layout, and set the Screen Buffer Size height to 9999, then once I sent dumpmdm in telnet I right clicked, Select All, pressed Enter to copy, pasted in Notepad and searched for "supervisor", and below that line was the password. So, the only thing on my v14 is that it's not the default password.*
* Keep in mind, it might be accessible because I'm using v11 config and I hadn't reset it when i upgraded to v14

This certainly would be the best course of action for anyone that's able to find the supervisor password using dumpmdm (although, half the time clearing the ROM-D in telnet with the admin account is sufficient, and it probably depends on which ISP the unit is from). Clearing ROM-D in the GUI, pushing the reset button with a paper clip until the lights went out, and done. Remember to not restore any configurations from before the clear.
PS. I'm unable to verify it had been cleared on my device using the supervisor Busybox shell, and on admin account both "echo && bash" and "sh" didn't start it. This is probably due to v14 (I have faith v11 works). There should however be visible signs it had been cleared by looking at the GUI, like the TR-069 menu showing up and ZyXEL defaults.

Note: the instructions I've written at the bottom of this post
are simpler but less certain to work, see:
https://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,20495.msg357916.html#msg357916(about the "certain method", it's using the supervisor account, and AAJZ.14 might have the supervisor account disabled just like v13 did. However I had used an older firmware, v11, since July 2017 up to a week ago. It's solid, and certainly has the supervisor account enabled (everyone praise v11 for this). The user and password will most likely be different from "supervisor - zyad1234" but there are posts on kitz on how to find it, like this one. If your attempts to gain access to the supervisor account failed, you can flash to AAJZ.11, reset the router with a paper clip and login to the web interface with the supervisor account. There should be a clear ROM-D tab under the Maintenance>Configuration menu. Or you use telnet to send "save_default clean". Afterwards you reset using the reset button and then put the custom v14 back)
* If the firmware tab can't be found in the web interface, or you cannot obtain the admin password, see: https://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,19975.msg350589.html#msg350589
Using the admin account to clear ROM-D:
https://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,19022.msg339500.html#msg339500Firstly, before following the steps, backup your current configuration in the web interface, then power it down and disconnect the DSL cable, and then start from step 3, unless you lack access to the admin account, then reset the router using a paper clip or somehow find the password.
Once finished with the last step,
verify the ROM-D had been cleared (I am currently running the same custom v14 as you and
cannot enter Busybox with admin account: in the quote above I've explained this is attributed to v14), configure it from scratch, and once you're done with all of the configuration, power it down and reconnect the DSL cable, and that should be it.
* The previously backed-up configuration is the same
as before the clear, which if successfully cleared allows the router to reset to its firmware config.
