I found a default password on the internet that was for a different make and model of portable dvd player and i tried it on my Mintek MDP-1070 and it worked, and allowed me to reset my password to whatever i wanted.
The default password as i found it on the internet was 8888, however on the Mintek the password is five digits instead of 4 so i just added one more "8", and the default password that i used to change mine was 88888. I hope this helps some others, I was very surprised when it worked for me also very happy.
