The documentation doesn't appear to give this up very easily: to reset to Factury Defaults, you'll need to restart the switch while having a serial console open, and hit CTRL-F (lots of times) until the boot completes, and it drops down to a boot-rom style prompt.
One of the options once you see that is "Reset to Factory Defaults?" select that and reboot.
At the login prompt the next time, you should get logged in using a username of "admin" with a password of "admin"
Good luck from there...
Here is my sequence to then add a management IP address to VLAN 1 - the default VLAN:
