Resetting Cisco CAPWAP/LWAP Access Point to Factory Defaults
Posted on August 26, 2014by Sasa
Ok, we are not experts in Cisco wireless deployments (CUWN) and we’re still learning and in that learning process our evaluation of vWLC expired and we forgot credentials for our CAPWAP/LWAP access points. Not only our evaluation expired, but we removed the virtual machine from our virtual center.
So what now?
We need to restore factory defaults for those access points. To be honest, I did a lot of googling and this blog is kind of combination of many articles I came across.
First of all, we need to locate the MODE button on our access point. On the 1600 series it is depicted on the following image:
It is usually marked with the “MODE” label.
Now, we power off our AP and connect to it with a console cable. This is important: we press and hold the MODE button. While the button is still pressed, we plug the power back in. We now wait for the message “button is pressed, wait for button to be released…“.
Let’s release the MODE button and wait for the code to load. Here is the process:
