Metamask-extension: Forgot Password - Go Back

[eshon]

I forgot my password and now want to go back to the opening screen so I can create a new account. Might be nice to add a way to go back:

What would it go back to? The initial screen that says create new vault or restore vault?

What if they press it by accident? Should we add another button like 'log in' to that first screen if they have an active vault?

Yes.

I like that, this is a simpler design for #539 and #172, so I'm closing those in favor of this.

So, I don't have my seed or my password. How can I reset the entire thing and just start with a new account?

Likewise. I did not save them for test networks. Do I have to reinstall the extension? And will it forget the old accounts, or do I have to delete something?

Likewise. Didn't find a way to reset the wallet.

If you lost both seed and password, you currently need to reinstall to clear MetaMask's state, sorry.

Even if I reinstall Brave my metamask data gets saved and asks for seed/password. What to do?
