Hello I lost the passwords for my Cisco 881w and internal Access Point. I used the procedure here to reset the password on the router by booting into rommon and changing confreg to 0x2142. This allowed me to boot into the router without dumping the saved config. Now I can telnet/SSH into the router just fine, but still do not have access to the AP.
I know that I can reset the AP but this one has a rather complex config and I would rather not just reset it.
How do I reset the AP password without overwriting the existing config?

Actually there is no way to do a password recovery on embedded AP, only a password reset. this is achieved by resetting AP back to factory default which I laid out above. I know this isn't the answer they were looking for but this is per Cisco wireless TAC.
