+**To factory reset a Ubiquiti UAP-AC-Lite access point**, you have **two primary methods**: **Hardware Reset (Physical Button) and Software Reset (via UniFi Controller)**.
+**Method 1: Hardware Reset (Physical Button)**
+This is the most straightforward method and works even if you cannot access the UniFi Controller.
+**Locate the Reset Button**:
+The reset button is typically located near the Ethernet port of the UAP-AC-Lite.
+It's a small, pinhole button that you'll need a paperclip or pin to press.
+**Power On the Device**:
+Make sure the access point is powered on (connected to a PoE injector or a compatible PoE switch).
+**Press and Hold the Reset Button**:
+**Press and hold the reset button for at least 10 seconds (sometimes up to 20 seconds to be sure).**
+Release the button once the LED indicator starts flashing or **turning off briefly**.
+**Wait for Reboot**:
+The device will reboot, which can take a couple of minutes.
+After rebooting, the device will be reset to factory defaults.
+**Method 2: Software Reset (via UniFi Controller)**
+If your AP is already adopted and you have access to the UniFi Controller:
+Log into the UniFi Controller.
+Go to the "Devices" tab and find your UAP-AC-Lite.
+Click on the device to open its properties.
+Go to the "**Settings**" tab.
+Click "**Forget Device**".
+This will remove it from the controller and reset it to factory defaults.
+**Factory Default Settings**
+After resetting, the UAP-AC-Lite will have the following default settings:
+**IP Address:** **Obtained via DHCP** (Check your DHCP server or use Advanced IP Scanner or nmap to find it)
+**<wrap hi>Username: ubnt</wrap>**
+**<wrap hi>Password: ubnt</wrap>**
+  ssh ubnt@<IP_DEL_AP>
+  set-default
+  reboot
+  ssh ubnt@<IP_DEL_AP>
+  syswrapper.sh restore-default
+  reboot
+  ssh ubnt@<IP_DEL_AP>
+  set-inform  http://10.210.108.66:8080/inform
+  reboot
+----
+**WLC:**
+  service unifi restart
+  systemctl restart unifi
+----
+Default Web Interface IP: If no DHCP is available, **the default IP is usually 192.168.1.20.**
+**Re-adopting to Controller**
+**After resetting**, the access point will appear as "**Pending Adoption**" in your UniFi Controller dashboard. You will need to **re-adopt and re-provision it to make it functional again within your network**.
+----
+----
+**Access the UniFi Controller**
+Log into your UniFi Controller dashboard. This can be:
+  * UniFi Cloud Key
+  * UniFi Network Application running on a local computer or server.
+  * UniFi Dream Machine (UDM / UDM-Pro)
+----
+----
+**Check for Pending Devices**
+Go to the "**Devices**" tab on your **UniFi Controller dashboard**.
+Look for your UAP-AC-Lite under the “**Pending Adoption**” or “**Disconnected**” section. It should show up with its MAC address.
+If it doesn't appear, make sure:
+**It’s properly powered and connected.**
+**The network segment is reachable by the UniFi Controller.**
+----
+----
+**Adopt the Access Point**
+Click on the** device’s row** to open its properties.
+Click on the “**Adopt**” button.
+**The device will start provisioning**. This process can take a few minutes.
+Once completed, the status will change to “**Connected**”.
+----
+----
+**Re-Provision the Access Point**
+After adoption, the UAP-AC-Lite may require a firmware upgrade. You can do this from the “**Devices**” tab by selecting the device and choosing “**Upgrade**” if an update is available.
+Configure your wireless networks (**SSIDs**) and ensure the AP is part of the correct Wireless Network Group.
+**Apply** the settings and wait for the AP to provision.
+Check the device status to ensure it is “**Connected**” and functioning properly.
+----
+----
+**Test Connectivity**
+Connect a client device to the Wi-Fi network and check Internet access.
+Optionally, use the UniFi Controller Dashboard to monitor client connections and signal strength.
+----
+----
+**Troubleshooting Tips**
+If the device does not appear for adoption:
+Check if it's powered correctly (**PoE port should be providing power**).
+**Ensure the AP is on the same network segment as the UniFi Controller.**
+Make sure port **8080** and **8443** are open on your network for communication with the UniFi Controller.
+If adoption fails repeatedly, consider performing a hardware reset again and retrying.
