It is possible to do many very useful administrative tasks, including a factory reset of a Beckhoff embedded controller (CX1000, CX9000, CX1020 series) using the Web Administration Interface that is built into the embedded device's image.

This is a documented feature within the Beckhoff Information System, but a search for this topic proved quite difficult and time consuming. Hopefully putting this information here will save others the headache.

Note, the documentation says that this interface is only available on "CE based devices (image 2.16 or higher required)"
