user132983: I would like to know why there is no feature to retrieve forgot password or reset with a new password ?
Thanks

user13866: Because it could be used by anyone with access to your device. You may as well have no passphrase and leave the wallet completely unprotected.
Businesses can offer a password reset for an account because they have details of their customers including ways to weakly check identity. Bitcoin core, by design, is not a business, has no lists of customers and no ways to verify their identity.
It is important that developers do not have any back door access to everyone else's money.
