Yes you can.

While booting it, hold down the Mode button. After about 20 seconds, let it go and the switch will load you to the

switch:

prompt

Issue the following commands

flash_init
load_helper

then type

delete flash:config.text

then type boot

That should load you into a lear configuration. You might also want to do a dir flash: and if files like vlan.dat or snmpengineid exist, delete them, or you can do that from the regular CLI once you've booted the router
