Mar 13, 2014 7:36 PM in response to geraldine11by John Galt,You need to start with a "hard reset" and configure it using AirPort Utility.
When you return it to your friend he will have to repeat those instructions.

Is the hard reset simply done by using a paper clip on the small button?

To "hard reset" an AirPort Base Station: make sure it's powered up, then press and hold its tiny reset button and keep it depressed for five to ten seconds, long enough for its LED to flash amber rapidly. Release the reset button. Then, the LED will glow amber steadily for about a minute. Then, it will flash amber, slowly, about once every second or two, waiting for you to configure it with AirPort Utility.
