Is there a way to find out the IP address of the wireless access point (which was changed from default factory settings) without resetting the WAP?

 
If the AP has DHCP enabled, then you may be able to run ipconfig /all from a wireless connected computer and see the DHCP Server IP Address...

Thanks for the response. I solved the problem by just trying addresses until I found it. Not very sophisticated.

I tried your solution. It does not work for me since my WAP is not my dhcp server.

Another trick is to use "Angry IP scanner".

You can scan the entire network and try the active addresses only, this saved my butt recently when an AP switched itself back to dhcp from static address. Found the device in the scan and reconfigured it.
