Answer 1

You didn't provide much information, but If the element returns a blank String when using getText() try this.

 WebElement forgotPassword = driver.findElement(By.cssLocator("cssLocator of the element here");
    String textToRetrieve = forgotPassword.getAttribute("innerText");
    System.out.println(textToRetrieve);

Answer 2

You can use like this

   String textPwd=driver.findElement(By.xpath ("//h3[contains (text(),'Forgot Your Password')]")).getText ();
   System.out.println(textPwd);
