Just bought a used airport extreme, only to find out that the previous owner kept it password protected and didn't include what that password was. Ugh! What to do??
Got a tip for us?

1. Unplug the base station from power.
2. Press and hold the reset button with a straightened paperclip, then plug the base station back in while continuing to hold the button for approximately 5 seconds until you see the three status lights glow.
3. Release the button. The base station will factory default reset.

Thank you so much for your fast response! I was finding that out myself as you were sending it, but I really appreciate the help on what was a pretty silly question
