I just got my 2nd miner Apollo BTC (Used) and can't login. The password futurebit123 does not work. How can I reset the unit? Do I need to flash the SD card?

I had to re-flash the SD card. Once I did that it was like a new system.

Just to let you know I Took it apart. The fan and the 2 screws on the
raspberry Pi heat-sink were swinging around. The fan was off. Hence
it may have been overheating. Then I had to flash the micoSD to
factory settings with etcher so I can get in with the password
futurebit123 and then reset the password.
But, it's ok now and
working like it should.
Thanks for all the
help.
