You can only access the passwords that are stored in the Password Manager when you enter the correct master password because this password is used to encrypt the password and only this MP can decrypt the passwords.

You will have to find a way to contact your son and ask him for the new master password to be able to access the passwords

Note that all stored passwords will be lost if you would reset the master password.
