I have lost my password and even the primary password. Is there any way to recover from this dilemma? When I click on the TB icon, the first thing I see is Enter your Primary Password. I enter my last PW. No success. So I click on Cancel. Up comes a partial TB screen and another request for Primary PW. Click cancel again and there is TB with all my emails. It is trying to connect to the host server: sending login information. It eventually times out and asks for the Primary PW again.

I can get my email by connecting to the ISP (Frontier.com), but I really miss my TB. I think I have tried everything but nothing seems to work.

Here are the known steps to recover Thunderbird when primary password is not known: select tools>developer tools>error console then enter 

  openDialog("chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xhtml")    and press reset button.

This process removes all passwords so they will need to be reentered.
