How can I change my password? Please don't link to archived answers, they are inadequate and inaccurate

Thanks for helping with this. I run Thunderbird on Linux and need to access my corp email account, which requires a password change every 90 days.
I found this archived solution: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1029452
It points to "how to remove E-mail the password stored in thunderbird:
https://KB.wisc.edu/page.php?id=19006
But this info is for Windows, then it could use an update for Linux.
I managed to delete my old password and restart Thunderbird. But T-bird is not connected, do not ask me for a password and does not silently. I checked and there is no password stored.
I understand that these things are hard to fix (I'm a software dev), but t-bird does not work for me, without being able to use my password by e-mail.

do not point to the archived answers, they are insufficient and inaccurate

The link you provided is inadequate or inaccurate.

But this info is for Windows, then it could use an update for Linux.

This info is for Windows and Mac OS. The only real difference is the main menu.
Windows: Tools - Options
MacOS and Linux: change preferences (Alt-E).

But T-bird is not connected, do not ask me for a password

If Thunderbird can not conect to the server, it will prompt for a password. You must first solve the problem of connectivity.

  • How can I change the password on the computer when I don't remember the original?

    Original title: How can I change my password if I don't remember but don't know the pin code and I know the password to my e-mail attached?

    I don't remember the password to my computer as an administrator, but I don't know the pin code. I know my connected Hotmail account information and also the password but I don't remember the password so cannot download certain applications.

    So I would like to know how to change the password.

    Any assistance would be much appreciated!

    Thank you.

    You need the password to another one administrator-level account, or to the real real 'administrator' account?

    If you use an administrator level account, you can enable the built-in true ' administrator' account, connect on it (she has no default password because it is disabled by default) and reset the password of another account from there.

    To do this:

    1. Press + X to display the context menu, and then click computer management.
    2. On the left, click local users and groups, and then select the users folder.
      On the right, you will see the account named Administrator.  There must be an arrow down to this topic icon, indicating that the account is disabled.
    3. Double-click the administrator account, and then uncheck the "account is disabled".  Click OK to save your changes.
    4. Close the computer and connection to the administrator account.
    5. Back to the same page of user management.  Right-click on the account with the unknown password and choose set password to set a new.
    6. Open log on to the administrator account and your regular account.
    7. Go back once more on behalf of users and disable the administrator account.  You want to book it only in an emergency - if something had to get changed or broken in the administrator account, you have a downturn in the future to use.

    I hope this helps!

  • I changed my password of gmail e-mail. How can I change the password used by Thunderbird to connect to gmail.

    I changed the password used to access my gmail account. Thunderbird still uses the old password to access the account. How can I change the password that is using Thunderbird. The last time this happened I ended up creating a new account to Thunderbird for gmail. Create the new Thunderbird account at least let me enter the new password. I don't really want to have three accounts of Thunderbird for the same gmail account.

    Please do not respond with suggestions on using password manager. I do not use it and do not want to start. I looked, and none of my Thunderbird passwords are displayed here. All I want to do is change the password in Thunderbird. If Thunderbird does not have a feature that allows you to change passwords, should be added.

    The link posted by Christ1 gives WRONG directions. In Thunderbird 24.4.0, is:
    Tools, Options, security, passwords, saved passwords

    Admittedly, in fact, you want that he SHOWS you the passwords, and then you can delete them.
    Once fact you check for mail, it will tell you, it didn't, and then you have the option to enter a new password.
    MUCH too complicated. Time to put the password and the ability to change, in the e-mail account options.

Thanks :)  WeigeSS

    Go to http://whatismyipaddress.com/ and copy your IP address. Then open a webbrowser and paste the IP copied into the address bar. You must now enter your username and password (most often, it is not a WiFi password, but that this service provider you have given - it could be written on the contract or manual). Now, everything depends on what type of router you have. Usually, there is a security link or password somewhere on the screen. Click on it and then you can change the password.

    If you need further help, feel free to respond.
  • How can I change my password for connection of Firefox? (Not the master password for the Firefox links saves itself)

    (1) how can I change my password for connection of Firefox? (Not my main password for things Firefox stores)
    (2) how can I change my password for connection of Thunderbird? (Not my master
    password for things Thunderbird stores)
    Just answer (Email removed by mod)

    You don't have to log in to Firefox. Firefox is just a browser, such as Internet Explorer. Everything you have to do is double-click it and open it. It's like Internet Explorer. If you have some sort of password extension protecting your Firefox, it's different and you need to contact the developer of the extension.

    with ff 3 I had disabled the display of status bar > status bar. with fff4, this option is not available.

    It also appears to view the url of a link that I move my mouse on.

    How can I change this? I don't want the url is displayed. its very distracting.

    The easiest way is to use the add-on of status-4-Evar. With it, you can choose to not display the messages State or hover url preview, or rather display them in the bar modules or the address bar.

  • How can I change the password for wifi on Apple TV 4?

    I changed my password for wifi and when I go into settings wifi on Apple TV, the network is there, but when I click on the name of the network, nothing happens.  He asks me the password.  It was a half hour and it still does nothing.  I tried to do a system restart and still nothing.  How can I change the password so I can reconnect to my network?  Is there a way to tell him to forget the network as on my iPad and iPhone?

    (btw, I changed the password to "*".)  I feel like the punchline of a cosmic joke.   )

    Do a reset.

    Also, not a good idea to post your password on a public forum
