Hi there, My good friend, just came across a problem as he forgot his firefox account password, this is being sent from my account as he has forgotten his password, is there any way that he can change his password without all of his existing passwords saved by firefox being deleted? Thank you.

In case of issues try to login to the Firefox Account via this website.

Note that Sync isn't designed to be used as a backup, but is merely meant to sync data between connected devices.
