Thunderbird will not accept master password

[progster]

Binary package hint: thunderbird

After creating a master password and saving, then restarting thunderbird, it asks for the master password but will not accept it. I am unable to change any profile settings to remove the master password to gain access to thunderbird mail.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. Could you have hit shift while typing some of the keys in your password and/or had caps lock on?
