What does it say, exactly?

In the context of email, there are two candidates. Your email account will most definitely have a password. You must work with your email provider to reset or change it.

Thunderbird can, optionally, store account passwords and secure them with a Master Password.

The wording of the password prompt will tell us which of these two it is asking for.

A further possibility is that your operating system is asking for a password.
