The username/password has been lost to our IPS module.
I used the ASDM menu option to reset the IPS password but nothing happened other than the IPS module resetting.
Is there something more I need to do to reset the password on the IPS module other than selecting "reset IPS" in ASDM?
Tks

No is does not wipe the config, it just resets the module and next time you login with the default username and password

For IPS (AIP-SSM) v5.0 you have to do complete recovery of the module to reset the password, but for IPS (AIP-SSM) V6.0 and above you can do that from command line using command.
CiscoASA#hw-module module 1 password-reset
With IPS (AIP-SSM) v5.0 on the ASA the command will still be applicable but will end up giving following error message.
The SSM application version does not support password reset
Failed to reset the password on the module in slot 1

Thanks,
I have IPS ver 6.0 (6)E3
Hardware is ASA-SSM-20
PRODUCTION-ASA# hw-module module 1 password reset
Does this just reset the password on the IPS module and NOTHING more or does it wipe the IPS config also?
Thanks again

Tasks and results
PRODUCTION-ASA# hw-module module 1 password-reset
PRODUCTION-ASA# sess 1
Card in slot 1 did not respond to session request
WAIT 5 MINUTES
PRODUCTION-ASA# sess 1
Change password prompt appears.
The password I entered was refused, then received following error:
Authentication token manipulation error
Remote card closed session
Command session with slot 1 terminated
PRODUCTION-ASA# sess 1
Change password prompt appears.
MUST enter current password first (I.E.cisco), enter, enter your new password.
Only issue is now the username is the default --- Cisco
Must manaually change the username.
