At the very end of creating an email account the program asks for a software security device password, I have no idea what this is or where to find it. To my knowledge I don't have a "software security device". I am using Windows 7 on an IMac.

Apparently you did set a master password at some point. The master password protects account passwords Thunderbird has remembered. You can reset the master password. More information in this article.

What is the exact prompt or error message you get?
The message is "Please enter the master password for the Software Security Device."
My email has a password and I entered it earlier in the install. I tried entering it here but it didn't take it.
Thanks for you help.
