This looks like a poster-child example of why physical access to network equipment and servers is restricted. ;)

Yesterday, we had the 403b guys come and wanted wireless. So, I pulled out my router and the network that I set up couldn't be found. Upon inspection I discovered that the router had been reset. I was very puzzled, to say the least. Today I mention to an administrator that my router was mysteriously reset. She tells me that my user from Hell was trying to use said router last week. I went to him and asked him about it. He told me that it wouldn't work after he hit the "reset" button. He argued with me for a long time because the "reset" button "captures" the wireless signal instead of erases all of the settings that make the router secure. Finally, I told him that I would prove it to him. I plugged it in and had him discover the network and then I made him hit the reset button. There was no apology about time lost when my network disappeared and "Linksys" appeared. Instead, he told me about how he had problems on his home wireless and some guy from overseas (whom he could hardly understand) told them to reset it and then their wireless suddenly worked. He also thought that rebooting them computer helped to "capture" the signal. This is from my user who needs his machine formatted 1-2 times per year. I wonder why.....
