I followed direction to restart with clicking on the hidden button with a pen to restart the unit. The device now only shows a flashing orange/yellow light and I cannot open it.
I receive an error 10057 while trying to connect to my Airport Time Capsule. I have two airport time capsules and the other one works.
Refer to How to reset your AirPort base station - Apple Support.
The effect of a "hard reset" is such that the Time Capsule will disappear from the wireless network it either created, or joined. Instead, it creates a temporary wireless network that exists for the sole purpose of configuring it.
That means you will need to manually connect to that temporary network. To do that click the Wi-Fi icon in your Mac's menu bar:
... and select "Apple Network nnnnnn".
Then, launch AirPort Utility to configure the Time Capsule. If you need help doing that please write back. We will need to know what you want to do with the TC (create a wireless network, join the other Time Capsule's wireless network... etc).
To set up a TC that has been "hard reset" follow these instructions: Set up a new base station using AirPort Utility on Mac - Apple Support.
