    If your Microsoft Edge primary password is not working, you may need to reset it. However, resetting the primary password will typically result in losing access to all the passwords associated with that primary password, as they are encrypted and tied to it. Unfortunately, there is no direct method to recover the passwords once the primary password is reset.

    To reset your primary password, you can follow these general steps:

    1. Open Microsoft Edge.
    2. Go to the settings menu.
    3. Look for the password management section.
    4. Follow the prompts to reset your primary password.

    Make sure to note that any saved passwords will be lost if you proceed with the reset. It is advisable to back up any important information before taking this step.
