Turn OFF the power.
Press and hold the [7], [8] and [9] buttons down simultaneously while turning ON the 
power.
Continue to hold the buttons down until a dialog box appears on the screen displaying, 
'Factory Set? [1---9]'.
Release the [7], [8] and [9] buttons and choose one of the following resets by pressing the 
corresponding button:
Button [1]: Loads Voices 1-64.
Button [2]: Loads Voices 65-128.
Button [3]: Loads all 128 Voices.
Button [4]: Loads all Voices sorted by Voice Category.
Button [5]: Loads User Patterns 1-64.
Button [6]: Loads User Patterns 65-128.
Button [7]: Loads all User Patterns.
Button [8]: Loads system data.
Button [9]: Loads all Voices, User Patterns and system data (full factory reset).
Press the [YES/ENTER] button. The AN1X will execute the Initialization procedure and 
return to 'Play mode'.

You may want to review the FAQ. It hasn't been updated in some time, but most of it 
remains accurate:

AN1xEdit is the cross-platform, freeware editor/librarian provided by Yamaha. Many of the 
user contributed AN1x Voices available for download are saved as .an1 - the format 
supported by AN1xEdit. It still works under Win XP and can be run within Classic under OS 
X.

Good luck.
