I can't change my password

more options

I am sorry to disturb you with this problem.

I INSIST: I WILL GLADLY, EAGERLY PAY YOU TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM

THE GIST OF MY PROBLEM AT PRESENT: I am trying to change my password. When I try to, I am asked for a master password. However, I have no recollection of ever making a master password for either my ISP or Thunderbird.

FURTHER DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND:

MY ISP, Time Warner/Spectrum advised me to change my password

I was advised that I would have to change my password for Thunderbird

I have been trying to do this for a long time but have not succeeded. I have already written to you about this. Toad Hall had been helping me and giving me good advice, but he Stopped returning my messages.

I will give you my last message to Toad Hall:

Question owner

First, I REALLY OWE YOU BIG TIME. IF YOU WANT MONEY, HOLLER

I found the image. It was there all along. Sorry.

I was able to get to the page in the image, I clicked on the three horizontal lines, went to options, went to security, went to passwords.

When I clicked on Saved Passwords, I was asked for my Master Password. I don't recall ever making a master password for either Time Warner or Thunderbird.

I tried my new password for Time Warner, but that did not work.

As I said in earlier e mails, I had to change my Time Warner Password, and now I believe I have to change my password, with Thunderbird so Thunderbird can work, again.

Sincerely,

David Gottfried
