Hello @nurquhar ,
Indeed the problem is that the person that had the LoPy before you already loaded scripts to connect to a certain LoPy network. What you need to do is to use the safe boot mode, connect via ftp and erase main.py and boot.py, then reset the board. This will cause the original main and boot files to be restored. After that please perform a firmware update using our update tool:

After that follow our getting started and the WLAN step by step on the docs, which also include examples to connect the LoPy to your wireless router and be able to telnet/ftp while keeping your laptop connected to internet.

It is possible to transfer the files to the board via serial using Pymakr, just by pressing the sync button.
Cheers,
Daniel
