I recently had a new hard drive put in. When I set my master password, I apparently made a mistake in typing it. Can I either retrieve or reset the password?

Assuming you have been using this for awhile and it has saved many logins it is wellworth trying any obvious permutations of typos to see if you can get in that way.

You can reset it, but you then loose the saved passwords
