How to reset your Slingbox to factory settings

How to zap your Slingbox back to its "out-of-the-box" settings. You may have to do this if you have forgotten the Administrator password, or if you get a new network router.

You forgot your Slingbox password(s). Resetting it is one way for you to start fresh and set new passwords.
