Cisco AIR-LAP1252AG-A-K9 Factory Reset

[djelizondo]

How do you do a factory reset from the console on a Cisco AIR-LAP1252AG-A-K9?

I have the password. Holding down the  mode button while the access point is booting does not seem to do the trick.

If it has a autonomous image you can try "write default-config" on the AP priviledge mode CLI.

If it has a lightweight image you can try "erase /all nvram:" on the AP priviledge mode CLI.

Mode button option & GUI option is described in this doc

[Rasika Nayanajith · Accepted solution]

It's looks like your AP is lwapp & try the below & see. Try the last two commands & see if that works. If not try with the first command as well.

AP0023.045e.df34#debug console cli

AP0023.045e.df34#delete flash:private-multiple-fs

AP0023.045e.df34#reload

All,

I have this problem. I have tried commands suggested by Rasika and also have tried MODE on AP. I am not able to factory reset configuration. I keep getting error message as below and am not able to configure AP.
