Alexander,
If you have telnet/ssh access to the AP you can upgrade it using the "upgrade" command.  TFTP example below:
upgrade tftp:///
FTP, HTTP, and SFTP transfer options are also available:
AP_B*#upgrade ?  
  FILE  Location of firmware image
        
  URL   Location of firmware image 
        URLs:  tftp://[:port]/path/file 
                ftp://:@[:port]/path/file 
                sftp://:@[:port]>/path/file 
                http://[:port]/path/file 
                cf:/path/file
