Read this before resetting to factory defaults
Resetting an AP to factory defaults has the following effects:
The AP is returned to controlled mode operation. If required, switch the AP back to
autonomous mode as described in the product Quickstart.
All user-defined configuration settings are deleted and returned to factory default
settings, which includes:
The manager username and password are set to admin.
The DHCP client is enabled on any Ethernet ports. If no DHCP server assigns an
address to the AP, its address defaults to 192.168.1.1.
User-installed licenses are deactivated but are not deleted. You must manually enable
these licenses once the AP has restarted. (Factory-installed licenses are always active.)
Resetting to factory defaults

front status lights blink three times.
