Old answer:
WinSCP has no option to remove/reset master password.
You have to do it manually in Registry by setting:
Of course, you lose all your encrypted passwords.
You can then go to preferences again and set new master password. While doing that WinSCP will prompt you for previous master password once for every lost password. Just cancel those prompts with Esc.
