There’s a simple way on how to reset the Firefox master

password.

1. Run Firefox browser.

2. At the address bar, type the following link

("chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xul")without quotes and

hit Enter.

3. You will be prompted “If you reset your master password, all

your stored web and e-mail passwords, form data, personal

certificates, and private keys will be forgotten. Are you sure

you want to reset your master password?”.

4. Click “Reset” button and it will reset all your stored

credentials.

Resetting the master password is rather useless since you’ll be

loosing all your saved login information.
