Hi,
Master Password is the term generally used for a Filevault account, without which that account is likely lost.
Then there's a possibility of a Firmware Password, if that is it you'll see a lock when holding alt key at bootup.
Third is a Login Password, if that is the problem, try this...

Starts up like the first time you buy a new Mac, but after filling in all that info again, you should have access to the computer and the other Users & files will still be there... give the new User a different name than an existing one.
