have been searching for this on various forums and have yet to find a procedure for how to factory reset an older model 1522/24 outdoor access point. i've been given an older decommissioned AP for use with a .org organization and it still has passwords and configs from previous deployment that i need to clear out, and then deploy from scratch, so am looking for factory reset procedure that does not include using WLC GUI since it's not currently associated to a WLC. i do have a successfully deployed WLC with a dozen indoor LWAP's and this one is planned for outdoor use on that same system. any URL's or guidance is requested, happy to do my own reading / study if I can get pointed to the correct doc. thank you. rick.

Mohana,
Thank you, yes, rest button only power cycles the AP, does not work like the reset/mode button of other indoor AP's.
Will check out the other article, I don't have the enable password, so that may be problematic. Thank you, I'll report back with the outcome. :-)

The reset button on the 1522 does not work the way you think it does. I would still appreciate any guidance that can be shared for how to factory reset a 1522 AP if the unit is not registered to a WLC, and the enable password is unknown.
