You need to hold the reset button in while you plug the power in then probably for a good 30 seconds while it boots. This will remove the configuration in the process.
If you have a valid backup file, there iso an unofficial and unsupported tool which can usually extract the password from the .backup. I haven't tried it on an RB Crossroads, but I know it works on other mipsLE devices (532 & 411). I have used it in the 2.X and 3.X firmwares, but I haven't tried anything past that. It does need to be compiled and run on a linux system, so it isn't the best plan if you aren't comfortable with that. If you still feel inclined to use it, a little googling for a tool called MTPass by Manio should get you there.
