Instead of being directed to the page to reset the master password, I am seeing a page saying something like "the page may have been changed, check your spelling", etc. I've checked everything and I seem to be entering the correct info, and have tried several times with the same result. What should I do? I can't get anywhere in Firefox without the master password.??

Thanks for your help
