To return your AirPort Express to its factory settings:
mmUse the end of a straightened paper clip to hold down the reset button for ten seconds. AirPort Express restarts with the following settings:
ÂÂ AirPort Express receives its IP address using DHCP.
ÂÂ The network name reverts to AppleNetwork xxxxxx (where x is a letter or number). ÂÂ The AirPort Express password reverts to public.
