I did the very same thing you are trying to do. This is my thread where I asked for help. I can not help you any further than that. As you will see, I was confused as heck myself.

You're wanting to flash back to stock firmware, correct? Download the firmware from Linksys, and flash it via DD-WRT webUI.
If you're just wanting to do a reset, either do it via webUI on the Administration -> Factory defaults page or a ~10-second push of the reset button. I don't know what is so confusing here. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

I am confused with the many instructions but will try the reset via dd-wrt
I understand where you are coming from. But it really is that easy. Go to the Linksys page and get the latest firmware. Version 1 I think it is. Download that to your computer. Now go to the dd-wrt dashboard and upgrade your firmware. I did it and was scared to death about making a nice little brick. Worked for me. Reread my thread.
