Reconnecting to Thunderbird
As a longtime user and a regular subscriber to Mozilla, I can’t get access to Thunderbird. Reason is that I had to repair the hard drive and now I am locked out. I am unable to insert a master password because I never had one. Reason being that I have used Thunderbird for years and years before that was required. To say I am frustrated is an understatement. None of your automated advice has a remedy. Should I install a new version of Thunderbird and begin afresh? John Cotterell ( an Australian supporter of your project)

If you are being asked to enter a Primary Password and don't have it, these steps should help, but if all fails, it may be simpler to start over a new install:
Choose Tools -> Developer Tools > Error Console, paste the expression: openDialog("chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xhtml") and press the Evaluate button. That will open a dialog asking you if you want to reset your password. If Evaluate is not seen, press enter key. When prompted, press the Reset button.
