If I've forgotten the Passcode I set on the DropBox app in my phone, but I still have access to the files in the application on my iPad and Mac, how do I go about resetting the phone Passcode without wiping the contents from the app?

AFAIK, if you can log in via the website you can just reset it there, then login again from your phone with the new password.
YMMV etc.

A reason to get a password manager, then you only need to remember one password. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21

Check Keychain Access on your Mac - search for 'dropbox' at the top - then double-click the entry and click the checkbox next to "Password". It'll ask you to type in yor Mac's administrator password then it'll show you the Dropbox password.

All sorted.
I logged in to the website, unlinked the phone from the service, re-launched the app on the phone, signed in and reset security passcode.
Keychain on the Mac didn't have any entries for Dropbox. *shrug*
