Controllerless Networks

I have two AP-505s that I installed at a client last year.  I used the virtual controller to manage both.   I do not recall registering these with Activate or any other Aruba site.  Just recently, the company I work for was aquired by another company who has asked me to put these Arubas on their InstantOn Portal.  I had tried to delete one of the APs on the virtual controller, but the icon was greyed out.  I did the power off reset but it would just reappear in the virtual controller.

I took the AP home, got it on my PoE switch and did another reset.  I cannot get this AP into discovery mode of the alternate green/amber lights.  During reset, I get red, then amber, then slow flashing green.  After awhile, the system light will be a solid green while the radio light flashes green every 2 seconds.

I updated the firmware of the AP to 8.12, tried the reset again, but still no dice.  Lights still behave as explained above.  I do not have the console cable to get in.   The AP does grab a IP from DHCP and I can get into the web UI.

Am I missing something?  

Instant and Instant On are two separate products and will not be managed by the Instant On portal.
