One of the most correct videos that actually explains you the correct steps, there is so much other crap in KZbin that gives wrong instructions. Thanks!

A MILLION thank yous for this super helpful video along with the other one about wiping a Time Capsule. I am ready to [hopefully] resell mine now. I appreciated how you got every detail and also didn't add a bunch of fluff. Well done!

[@RosasUtopia]

Thank you for this! Worked perfectly!

[@trucker878]

Will it delete my data off the hard drive?

[@mydoodads]

Hi Alexander, the AirPort Extreme does not have an internal hard drive. If you have an internal hard drive I think you actually have a Time Capsule rather than a AirPort Extreme. If you have attached an external USB Hard Drive to your AirPort Extreme, then the instructions in this video will not wipe the external USB hard drive. However, next week we will post a video on how to factory reset the Apple Time Capsule. As this has an internal hard drive, part of that video will be to look at how to secure wipe the hard drive before completing the a factory reset.
