Change password without knowing the Master one

@a3liu Hi!

Short first answer (no time), but I just saw your post and wanted to provide some first hints:

  1. Deactivate the internet connection on the device where you still have access, so that you don’t lose access here. (PS: and don’t log out here!)
  2. If you can’t export, copy/write down every vault item manually.
  3. Without the master password it is “game-over” - somehow remembering it would be your only chance. (PS: no, the master password can’t be “circumvented” somehow… no, Bitwarden can’t restore or change it… that is all by design and for security…)
  4. Start a new account and delete the old one afterwards. (if you have access to the email address, the account can be deleted without master password)

Possibly not the complete list (others may add something) - but I think in short your situation…

Good luck!
