HELP! Password Faux Pas - How Do I Fix This?

I am doing lots of electronic/crypto housekeeping and one of the things I wanted to do was reset my Steemit master password. I had reset and saved it a couple times and had a few passwords lying around, which is a recipe for nothing good. I went in and clicked on the reset, generated a new password, copied that one to a safe place and then deleted all of the old ones so I would be clear about which one was the new one.

Unfortunately it was only after the other ones were safely deleted that I went to complete the process and was told that I didn't have master authority. Of course, being smart like I am I didn't leave my master as the saved password to keep logged in on my pc, BUT since it's been a few months since I've been here I completely forgot that I would have done that.

So- what do I do now? I have access to my funds and my posting but how can I get my master reset? Also- I know the proper answer is "its gone" but I also know that there is a way if you got sponsored in by Steemit ...

Please take pity on me.
