Troubleshooting Lost Passwords:


Perhaps.


A. Restore a Computer with these Passwords:

Do you have a backup of a Mac that has these passwords in its keychain? If so, restore this Mac to that backup. Be certain you create a backup prior to this Mac prior to all of this, that way, you can restore it from.


B. Use a Computer for this:

First off, use a computer to troubleshoot this, as it would be more user-friendly doing so.


C. Visit Keychain for Passwords:

See if Keychain is disabled. Your passwords would be in Keychain. Go Here: How to Find Saved Passwords on your iPhone - Apple Support


D. If not in Keychain:

Look somewhere else you may have kept a record of these in.


E. Reset at a Login Screen:

If this is on a Web site, do you have the option to reset it?
