IDE Flash Module reset

Help!

I have a Mikrotik IDE Flash Module with S/W version 2.8.26 Level 5 license.
Either I have forgotton the correct password, or something is corrupted, but I can’t log on.
How can I reset the password to the factory default. I realize that all of the configuration will be lost too. That is OK.

Thanks

Reinstall with CD or Netinstall.
If you would type ‘save configuration’ during installation, than password left after reinstall.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I got lucky. By using the Windows system restore function, I was able to access the router with Winbox. By going back to an earlier date, I found a configuration that had the password stored in the registry. Once I was able to log on, I did a backup, then reset Mikrotik and then restored the configuration.
