Hold in that reset button on the back of the Time Capsule for 7-8 seconds and release. Allow a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart to a slow blinking amber light status.


This will reset all of the settings back to defaults, but it will not affect any of the data stored on the hard drive.


Now you will have to set up the Time Capsule again. Old fashioned, but it might be a good idea to write down the new password and keep it in a safe place.


Post back if you need help with this.


Things that we will need to know......make and model number of your modem and whether you will be setting up the Time Capsule with a Mac or an iPhone / iPad. Mac is preferred.
