Getting your password back really isn't possible. Your password is changed into a hash and stored in auth.txt within your world folder. However you can delete the line in auth.txt that contains your player name. This will remove the password.

There is an Command try this:
Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.
Code: Select all
/setpassword <Name> <newpassword>
