Didn't the oil p*ss everywhere ?
If you have refilled the bike with oil and noticed the cover after you refilled with fresh oil then you can just drain the oil into a very clean oil pan, refit the cover and use the same oil

You mean the little silver metal cap that covers half the filter element?
Ive left that off too
I just dumped the oil into a clean container (or two) like rossi said.
Make sure you clean around the sump cover and bolt really well first so no bits of dirt drop into your clean container.
Most of the oil isnt even in the filter section if you havnt started it yet, so you can probably just drop the filter and not much will come out.

I've done that too, only a few hundred mills comes out so it doens't make too much mess
