Hi John, Firefox doesn't have a method to recover your local Master Password. (Resetting it erases your saved logins.)

You generally need to enter your Master Password the first time you want to use a saved login after starting Firefox, so usually it is something you remember if you've had it for a while. Did you just set it recently?
