Forgot PAssword for Base Station please help

Heheh. It happens. I believe that in order to reset the password, you must reset it by.
a) Unplug, and then replug the base station in. then, quickly...
b) use the end of a bent paper clip, and insert it in a small hole on the bottom of the base-station. Hold it down until there's one steady orange light (I think)... then, use the admin utility to reset settings..... I forget, but this may make it lose all other settings as well...

This article explains what to do if you have Forgotten Your Base Station or Network Password.

DISCUSSION

You can use the reset button on the bottom of the AirPort Base Station to reset the base station password.

Follow these steps:

Insert the end of a straightened paper clip into the small hole on the bottom of the base station.

Press and hold the reset button for one second.

The base station and network passwords are set to public for five minutes.

If necessary, use the AirPort application to select the network created by the base station.

If you are prompted for a password, enter public.

Open the AirPort Admin Utility (in the AirPort folder in the Apple Extras folder).

Select your base station and click Configure.

You will be prompted to enter new network and base station passwords and in certain cases enter a new IP address.

Note: If you do not reconfigure the base station within five minutes, you must reset it again.
