boot.py,wifi.jsonandbootstrap.py, "safely eject" the badge and then press the reset button. - Factory reset the badge. Press and hold 'MENU' and then press the reset button on the back. Keep the MENU button held down, then release it when both the green light is on and the screen is white. (See here for more information.
