I tried to save a password from a site I was visiting and Firefox asked me for my password, which happens, so I entered it...the it kept asking me for the password and I kept entering what I believed was the password, then it locked me out of Firefox and now I cannot see anything but a message box asking me for a password. There is no "Forgot your password" prompt...nothing. I have several windows open and I would rather not loose them, so how do I get back in.
