Deleting existing connection WN3000RP

I used my WN3000RP at home and I used a 16 digit WPA2 key to connect to my Fitzbox router.
I am on holiday now and I want to use the extender. When I switch it on I see my definition I used at home but to connect I need the 16 digit WPA2 key.
My question is how I can I delete this ? To be honest I forgot the key and I cannot go home to pick it up ( I have put it down somewhere).
I have done a factory reset but no luck. I want to start from scratch to say it simply.
Thanks

  • Well that's easy your factory setting reset failed you have to turn on the device and then hold the button for about 7 seconds then some leds will go off and the factory reset wil start.

    Any way when you forgot a wpa2 you can also use the wps button 1 is the one under the on and off button.
    Then select wps login on the device you want to login with.
    The device will connect without using the wpa key.
