    Hi Sriram, welcome to the forums!

    As sjk mentioned with the link in his post, your master password is required to encrypt your 1Password data. Without this, there’s no way to decrypt the information and thus you can not recover the data. We do not offer any backdoor or any reset options. If we did, this would be the weakness that could be taken advantage by hackers to get into your data.

    1Password for iPad:
    If you cannot remember the master password, you will need to delete the 1Password app from your iPad and start over. This will also delete all of your 1Password data from your iPad, but there are several ways you might be able to recover that data, after you reinstall the 1Password app.

    1Password for IPhone:
    If you remember the PIN code, you can reset your master password by going to More > Settings > Security > Reset Master Passowrd from within 1Password. Any data encrypted by this master password will be deleted.

    You can restore from a backup if you have one, or sync the data back from 1Password for Mac or Windows if you have that as well.
