Which password? If it is just FireFox, uninstall the program. Go into the registry and delete all references to F.F (back up registry first, of course). Then you should be able to install F.F fresh, from the ground up.

This might help: Master password - MozillaZine Knowledge Base

You will lose all of your stored passwords though. It's an inbuilt security feature to prevent someone who has access to your PC from resetting the master password in order to gain access to your saved passwords.
