1P continues to ask fo Forgotten older version Password

Hello,
Utilized 1P for many years. I changed the password and worse happened, I forgot the word and did not leave the greatest hint. Utilized Safari password for 1 1/2 years and missed the ease, ability of different browsers, and generally missed the absence of 1Password. Updated to 7.9.1 now when Password window open it continues to ask for forgotten password and lock gives my poor hint, the hint is also from older version. I deleted the older version and also deleted much of the old files in an effort for the newer version to work. Under about states version 7.9.1. Backup and export goes to 2019 while I purchased it 1 day ago.
Any assistance or knowledge on upgrading would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Michael
