How To RESET My Airport Extreme

Hi,

I forget my AirPort Extreme's "PWD" and cannot login to the BaseStation.

Anyone knows how to RESET the "PWD" for my AirPort Extreme?

Thanks.

have you checked +keychain access+ for the password ?

if no luck with keychain access, you might want to perform a +hard reset+. unplug the unit from power, press the reset button with a paper clip or pointy object and keep pressing while you re-plug the unit into power until the status light flashes amber rapidly (8-10 seconds).
