Please note everyone - I have read the manual! the manual tells me to use a handset to reset either a phone or the base  station!  None of my phones are registered to the base station so i dont have a phone capable of talking to the bases - I cant register any phone to the base because the system pin is not known!

So, how do I reset the base back to the factory defaults!

Fatal flaw. You can't without a hand set unless the phone numbers supplied in message 2 can offer some help.
