Change the password to what?

Thunderbird has nothing to do with administering the password for your email account. That is done with your email provider. Most providers have a link on their email help page to reset your password. If that is not working, contact your email provider.

Once you have a working email password then you can use these steps to remove and replace the stored passwords in Thunderbird if you have elected to use that feature.
