Trouble with Aironet 1300 series

[jim.metcalf74]

I have a cisco aironet 1300 series and i need to reset it back to factory default.  the directions say push the mode button while the access point is off and then turn it on while the mode button is down...

i don't see one button on this thing anywhere.

help needed

Hi Jim,

The 1310 bridge/injector do not have a mode button for configuration reset. However, you can reset the configuration if you use the console port on the injector:

1) Connect console port and power-cycle unit
2) When IOS starts loading, hit ESC key twice to get to the boot-loader prompt
3) At the boot-loader prompt show a directory of the flash filesystem (dir  flash:)
4) Delete or rename the files "config.txt" and "env_vars", then boot the  system ("delete flash:/config.txt" "delete flash:/env_vars")

(The default user/pass should be Cisco/Cisco)
