I've searched the internet and can't find clear instructions...

Please could someone tell me? Sorry, I'm new to this whole network thing...

Thanks!

Turn off power to the Time Capsule. Press the small reset button on the back in with a pen. Keep it pressed in as you power the Time Capsule back up.

I'm not sure what internet you searched, but I Googled "factory reset time machine" and first link had step by step instructions.

*sigh*

Thanks Xenc for your reply :) (and thanks to jenzjen for your sarcastic comment!)

I did that, and set it up again. But once it restarts, AirPort Utility can't find it again!

I was just thanking you for being lazy as you clearly didn't try to look. Did you do a true factory reset ie is your network name something like Apple 4752673?

Are you joining your AirPort's SSID once you've set it up? Try connecting with Ethernet and turn AirPort off on your Mac.
