Primary Password (file?) Broken
after auto update to Version 102.4.0 (32-Bit) Thunderbird is not recognizing my primary password which i didn't change for years. I have a backup of my profile folder. I don't know how to make my primary password work without risking loss of emails.
would it be possible to replace the affected (broken?) password file(s)? which files would that be? my primary password contains only lower and uppercase Latin letters. My Profile is stored in a folder on a NAS.

After reading some different problems i started TB in recovery mode end my primary password works. I could see my account passwords and change my primary password. Then i restarted in "normal" mode and TB is not recognizing my old or new primary password. Restart in recovery mode and my new Primary password works.
so the new question is what do i have to do to have my TB work in "normal" mode?
i thought it might be a clever idea to start in recovery mode and to change settings to "not use a primary password". After restart TB didn't ask for a password. i thought cool, until i noticed that the account passwords are missing and even setting them new with option "save password" didn't change it. the saved password list is empty.
after update to 102.4.2 (64-Bit) still the same Problem
