Re: I want reset the factory default of my switch HP...
To reset using the CLI, run the command "erase startup-config". When prompted, say yes to reboot and that will restore the procurve switch back to factory settings after it starts up.

Depending on your operating system, see the following website:

There is no IP address when the switch ships from the factory. It is set by the user and/or the network by DHCP. If you do not know what the IP address was set to, then you'll need to return the switch ti it's factory default configuration. There should be information in the manual for the switch about the default config.
There's a reset button on back. When pressed in a specific pattern the switch is returned to the factory default configuration. Chapter 8 discussed this in the following manual: ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/networking/software/59672145.pdf
Sounds like the power outage was caused by a power surge. That could have damaged the switch, hence the reason for the freezing. I would look to getting it replaced.
The switch ships from the factory with no default username and password. If someone set it and you do not know it then you'll have to reset the switch to it's factory default configuration. There is a reset switch on the back of the unit and when pressed/held in a certain sequence the switch will reset. You'll need to look up the proper procedure in the user's guide of the switch.
This link should tell you the answer. http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/Switches-Hubs-Modems-Legacy-ITRC/Clear-password-in-Procurve-2650/td-p/4598369#.U0sRNfldUok
There should be no default IP address on a 2626 switch. HP Procurve switches are setup by default to get an IP address by DHCP. To execute the factory default reset on the switch, perform these steps:
Using pointed objects, simultaneously press both the Reset and Clear buttons on the front of the switch.
Continue to press the Clear button while releasing the Reset button.
When the Self Test LED begins to blink, release the Clear button.
The switch will then complete its self test and begin operating with its configuration restored to the factory default settings.
Be aware, using these instructions will wipe out any configuration you have on the switch
attempt to log into the system. While it's asking for the password, press the clear button on the front of the system. This will let you into the switch programming.
