Re: Remove Master password does not work!
Those are not directories. Those are registry keys/values. As the documentation says.

Is there any way to reset or remove the master password?
Old answer:
RemoveConfiguration\Securitykey in configuration. If you are using Registry storage for configuration, remove[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Martin Prikryl\WinSCP 2\Configuration\Security]
Also remove allPasswordvalues for sessions. - What does That mean and How-To?
And THIS is totally wrong, I have no such Directories!:
Forgotten Master Password
When you forget your master password, there is no way to recover it, nor the protected passwords.
You can at least reset WinSCP back to unprotected state. Naturally, you lose all the protected passwords.
To reset master password, removeConfiguration\Securityconfiguration section/key.
You also need to remove all protected passwords. For this, search for and remove allPassword,ProxyPasswordEncandTunnelPasswordvalues from configuration subsections/subkeys of Sessions section/key. Alternatively, if you are going to set a new master password: While doing that WinSCP will prompt you for previous master password once for every lost password. Just cancel those prompts withEsc.
Pls. Advice
