Hi mariaubatuba, If you reset your Master Password, you will lose all of your logins & passwords.

You will need your Master Password to change or remove your current one.

In the event that the passwords information is lost, you should record all information in a separate text file somewhere else on your hard drive, or written down. You can easily copy and paste if you need to do so. If you are concerned about someone else looking at that file, you can compress it using a password.
