Thunderbird password
I am not very tech savvy, so I apologise if I have asked this question before.
Having just downloaded Thunderbird and trying to add email addresses I keep getting a pop-up asking for passsword. I have tried every password I have with no success.
The pop-up says: Password Required - Mozilla Thunderbird.
Having never, to my knowledge, created a password for Thunderbird, I am stumped.
Any suggestions much appreciated.

Does this happen prior to adding an account? On only after having done so? What is exact wording of the message?
It's so frequent it's hard to tell, but probably after I have added an account.
The pop-up says: Password Required - Mozilla Thunderbird.
That means that the account is requesting via thunderbird the password to confirm that the account belongs to you.
I do appreciate your fast response David. But I'm still having a problem.
On opening Thunderbird I get a white screen with the attached.
If I click on cancel, I can add another account, which Thunderbird finds, but on clicking done. I'm asked for the password again, so I add the password for the account I am trying to add, but no go. The same pop up arises again.
And thereafter the popup keeps appearing. So sorry to say I'm still stumped.
