Have you looked at any guides for factory reset?  You have a console port and can reboot the module and then break out and there are options to clear configuration.

Hi Scott, the 6500 FAQ talks about resetting the WISM from its CLI.

from the 6500 switch perspective is there command guide to clear the WISM configuration ?

[Scott Fella]

I think you need to use the console or get into the WiSM cli.

1. Bring the WiSM2 back to your location. 
2. Remove all the CF.  
3. Done.

- Physically remove the WISM from the 6500 (remember to replace with a blanking plate for proper cooling air flow) after power down the slot (conf t, no power enable module 3)

- conf t and "no x x x x" the remaining WISM specific config on the 6500 just like you would for any other IOS config. 

- Follow instructions others have given if you want to erase the WISM configs (barely worth the effort unless you have private/confidential info in the config) via console, either before you remove it or bring it back to your own site.
