Draconem Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Hello MarkV users! I got my pineapple today and after having some problems with karma and the internet i did a factory reset. So when I entered the password I had choose before fast because i wanted to get my pineapple going. So then when it asked me to log in i typed my password in. It said invalid i was like ok i maybe typed it too fast.. and noticed it doesn't work. So i try all my passwords, I try it with caps lock (incase i accidentally had it on) tried it with different combinations but it doesn't work. What is the easiest way to reset my pineapple? I think some people in the IRC got annoyed with me :D I was going to follow: https://wifipineapple.com/?flashing but then i need to get a microsd to usb adapter to be able to put the files on the micro sd ship :/ I was woundering is there any easier way?

chriswhat Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 (edited) You can use the DIP switches to perform a factory reset. 1) Power off your Pineapple. 2) Place your DIP switches in the following sequence: Switch 1 - UP Switch 2 - DOWN Switch 3 - DOWN Switch 4 - UP Switch 5 - UP 3) Power on your Pineapple 4) Wait 5 minutes just to be safe and power off again 5) Place all of your switches back in the up position again and power on. You should be good to go. Just login and create a new password. NOTE: With the switches facing you, they are ordered 1 - 5 from left to right. Check out my cool ASCII Pineapple...
