I need to take my computer in for service, can I use Master Password to keep the tech from seeing them or am I better off deleting them?

My question says it all...if I use Master Password will it keep a "nosy" tech out of my list of sites/usernames/and passwords or should I delete all of them after making a copy off computer so they don't have access? When the computer is returned I need to go to each site and reenter the information

If you put a password, it should keep most nosy people off your PC. Or, you can always simply back up your current profile on like a thumb drive, etc. Then delete your current one. when you get the PC back, just put your old profile back. You can read Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles for instructions on how to do this.
