Closet Flange Knockout Cap

When my plumber did the rough in work for my 1st floor bathroom, he installed a closet flange with a knockout cap. Now I'm prepping to install the toilet. However, I don't know how to remove the knockout top. Does anyone know of a relatively painless way to get this done? Do I have to take a hammer and screwdriver to the thing? Or can I use a dremel to just carve an opening? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Adem

smack it one good one with a hammer to break it and then use your pump pliers to finish removal
