    An OS reinstall will reset it to the factory default (with no data loss).  The details vary, depending on the model - so please post what you have.

     

    Note that since someone with physical access can get data off the disks w/o any password, it is reasonable to put the password on a label on the inside of the front door.  Just something to consider.
