Model: TL-PA8010P KIT  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version:

A few years ago I bought the TL-PA8010P Kit and it's been great, Once installed I did as suggested and changed the admin login/password but now 3 years or so later I can't remember the details as I now need to change the SSID and Passcode.

 

Is there anyway to do a hard factory reset of the hardware without knowing the admin username and password?

I've worked it out, I found the small reset hole on the wireless adaptor, reset it and the username and password changed back to admin and admin. As a bonus it was still paired with the main unit.

Hope this helps anyone else suffering from a case of stupid, like me.
