If the AP is joined to the wlc, you can reset the ap to factory default from the GUI or CLI. If you have the AP in front of you with a console cable, you can login to the AP using Cisco/Cisco unless you changed it when it was joined to the wlc. Type the following:

debug capwap console cli

erase /all nvram:

undebug all

reload

Two other ways besides what scott metnioned:

1. Through the MODE button:

- Power off the AP.

- While keeping the MODE button pressed, power on the AP.

- Still keep the MODE button pressed until the Status LED turns to red and then release it:

2. Via installing the recovery image:

- Download the recovery image for 3500 from Cisco site.

- on AP Console write the command "Debug capwap console cli".

- Then write the commadn "Archive download-sw /overwrite /reload tftp:///"

Console into the WAP and in enable mode, enter the command:  clear capwap private

FYI - None of these solutions actually clear out any statically assigned IP settings on the AP.  (IP, Subnet, Gateway.)  I have yet to find a solution that does...

If you want to reset the access point to its default settings and a static IP address, use the write erase or erase /all nvram command. If you want to erase everything including the static IP address, in addition to the above commands, use the erase and erase boot static-ipaddr static-ipmask command.

Hi,

Three easy steps to Reset Cisco AP using MODE button:

Step 1: Disconnect power (the power jack for external power or the Ethernet cable for in-line power) from the access point.
Step 2: Press and hold the MODE button while you reconnect power to the access point.
Step 3: Hold the MODE button until the Status LED turns amber (approximately 10 to 12 seconds), and release the Button. All access point settings return to factory defaults.
