Hey there,
You can use one of these two methods
https://supportforums.cisco.com/message/1255262#1255262
Or
Using the MODE button
You can use the MODE button on 1100 and 1200 series access points to reload the access point image file from an active Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server on your network or on a PC connected to the access point Ethernet port.
This process resets all configuration settings to factory defaults, including passwords, WEP keys, the access point IP address, and SSIDs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Follow these steps to reload the access point image file:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 1 The PC you intend to use must be configured with a static IP address in the range of 10.0.0.2 to 10.0.0.30.
Step 2 Make sure that the PC contains the access point image file (such as c1100-k9w7-tar.122-13.JA.tar for an 1100 series access point or c1200-k9w7-tar.122-13.JA.tar for a 1200 series access point) in the TFTP server folder and that the TFTP server is activated. For additional information, refer to the "Obtaining the Access Point Image File" and "Obtaining TFTP Server Software" sections.
Step 3 Rename the access point image file in the TFTP server folder to c1100-k9w7-tar.default for an 1100 series access point or c1200-k9w7-tar.default for a 1200 series access point.
Step 4 Connect the PC to the access point using a Category 5 (CAT5) Ethernet cable.
Step 5 Disconnect power (the power jack for external power or the Ethernet cable for in-line power) from the access point.
Step 6 Press and hold the MODE button while you reconnect power to the access point.
Step 7 Hold the MODE button until the status LED turns red (approximately 20 to 30 seconds), and release the MODE button.
Step 8 Wait until the access point reboots as indicated by all LEDs turning green followed by the Status LED blinking green.
Step 9 After the access point reboots, you must reconfigure the access point by using the Web-browser interface or the CLI.
Cheers!

Default Gateway 10.1.1.1
Access point set IP_ADDR 10.1.1.5
set NETMASK 255.0.0.0

I do have c1130-k9w7-tar.123-4.JA2-tar.default IOS in the TFTP Folder.

you need rename c1130-k9w7-tar.123-4.JA2-tar.default to c1130-k9w7-tar.default under tftp directory
10-10-2010 10:20 PM
Yes, that was the mistake. Found out I had not been renaming it properly. Its fine Now. One more thing, has anyone found any issues using any TFTPs in windows 7 (in reference to uploading IOS onto APs.)
