What password did you reset?

Are you talking about the Password Manager Master Password? Are you talking about sync?

In either case, resetting the password removes all stored information.

https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Forgot+my+master+password Resetting your master password will remove all of your saved usernames and passwords. This is a security feature.

Resetting the sync password, or changing its e-mail, will remove all data from the servers.
