EOS Remote App for Android - I have lost my password. How do I override or reset the app password?

I have lost my password to enter the EOS Remote App to control my D6 remotely.

How do I override or reset the app password?

I have attempted to delete the App on my phone and re-install. That did not help.

Thank you,
