Here's what Steganos has to say about lost passwords, , but I doubt you're gonna like it:

Search for a file named "password.sef". This file is the passwordcontainer. If you do not know the password to open, you have to delete the file. If you are not able to find the file, deacivate the hiding from system files in the properties of the Windows Explorer. By default you will find the file here:
- Windows 2000 and XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Aplication Data\Steganos...\password.sef
- Windows 9x and ME:
C:\Windows\Aplication Data\Steganos...\password.sef
We are using safe algorithms and program codes without any backdoors or master passwords only. Therefore it is impossible even for us to open any encrypted file without the appropriate password or to repair / un-delete / decrypt encrypted files. We are also not able to find hidden files or change any encrypted and/or hidden files.
Steganos is pretty good at doing what it what it does, which is to secure files from unauthorized access. Locating and deleting the master password file will not decrypt a file locked under that password; doing so merely will allow you to set a new password for future use.
Just something to think about: a security tool that could easily be defeated wouldn't be much of a security tool, now, would it?
