[Commotion-discuss] How do you factory reset a Rocket?

[Ben West]

I've generally been able to put my Rocket M into TFTP/recover mode by
holding down the reset button upon power-up for at least 15seconds.

If you are able to get the unit into TFTP mode (i.e. it responds to ping at
address 192.168.1.20), you can effect a factory reset by then simply
uploading an image to reflash it, whether with stock UBNT firmware or
OpenWRT/Commotion.
