Chosen solution

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.

Then you're right, it's impossible to access the account in the account.

What happened to the other device where you had the data? Could you make a copy of it from disk?
