A Jetblue Airbus A320-200, registration N565JB performing flight B6-726 from Long Beach,CA to San Jose,CA (USA), was accelerating for takeoff from Long Beach's runway 30 about one hour past schedule when the crew rejected takeoff at low speed. The aircraft vacated the runway, the crew advised they just needed to reset and would "do it again". The aircraft stopped on a parallel taxiway for about 15 minutes, then was able to depart and reached San Jose with a total delay of 90 minutes.

A passenger reported the captain announced they had an incorrect thrust setting and the computer needed to be reprogrammed. The aircraft taxied clear of the runway, stopped for about 15 minutes, then taxied for departure and arrived in San Jose without further incident.
