How to reset the Catalyst Express 500 (CE500) series switch back to the factory defaults

[paul dungey]

Hello,

I'm trying to get access to the Switch Catalyst Express 500 (CE500) PID WS-CE500-24TT V01

and followed one of the links discussed in this forum see below,  the link within the forum is invalid and just put back to the main page of Cisco's website

https://community.cisco.com/t5/switching/catalyst-express-500-factory-reset-issues/td-p/1257564

could someone point me in the right direction so I'm able to erase the switch back to factory defaults

I'll be using a windows 7 machine for this.

Thank you

Paul
