4.10 What if you forgot the password?
Hardware Reset To Factory Defaults
If you forgot the password, the only way to recover is to clear the device configuration and return the unit to its
original state as shipped from the factory.
You can reset the Access Point’s Settings to factory defaults by pushing a paperclip in the RESET hole on the
back panel. Push and hold for around 2 seconds until the lights at the front of the Access Point are off. Doing
so will clear your current configuration.
