If you saved settings to the AQ5 from Aquasuite2012, wipe the hard drive and install a fresh OS, and then install AS2012 again, the Aquasuite will "Read" the AQ5 and restore the settings. I just did this with my wifes computer and EVERYTHING carried to the fresh install from the old.
If you want a CLEAN install with nothing carried forwarde, you must do a firmware reset of the AQ5 before re installing the AS2012.
