I believe the answer is: dissociative fugue

Dissociative fugue refers to a form of amnesia which make the victim unable to remember only a certain part of their past.
For example, people with dissociative fugue may be able to clearly remember their own identity, but they could completely forget why they are trapped in a certain trouble/crisis.
