Factory reset of AP55C

Question

Why is there no way of factory resetting an AP55C? This is what I was told by support. There used to be the reflashing tool. Seems a bit silly that the only process is to organise an RMA and get a new unit. 
 
 Is this correct? 
 
 Thanks in advance, 
 Luke

The Re-flash tool currently only works with Sophos AP10, AP30, AP50 - www.sophos.com/.../118843.aspx 
 
There are plans in the pipeline to extend this tool to all AP versions and REDs however there is no date available for when this will be ready. 
 
If all other troubleshooting methods have been exhausted then that does only leave us to RMA the devices.

 Here you have the manual to recover your AP55. Now I have broken AP15, and maybe I can get it back - I'm writing a manual in a few days for this. Maybe with this manual it is possible to recover all Sophos APs that are don't covered by the original provided tool from Sophos. With the tool from Sophos you can only recover AP 10 / 30 / 50. 
 
 So, stay tuned!
