Reseting Airport Express to factory settings does not work

Hi there,



I tried to reset my Airport Express back to factory settings ( ... hold the button until you see the light (LED) flash rapidly . )

But it still keeps - in the Airport Utilities - the existing settings. Any Idea what I could do else .


Thanks


Guy

Unplug the Express


Wait a minute


Hold in the reset button first...and keep holding it in for an additional 7-8 seconds while you simultaneously plug the Express back in to power


Release the reset button after the hold period and allow 40-45 seconds for the Express to restart


If you try this a few times and it still does not clear the settings on the Express, you have a defective Express
