Is there a way to recover the Password, or reset the password. I can't get in to TB because I can't find the password I put in years ago. I've tried the normal reset process but it sends the reset info to the email, which I can't get into without a password (Catch 22). it has never asked for a password before.

I think this will work for you: 

Choose Tools ->Developer Tools-> Error Console, paste the expression: openDialog("chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xul") and press the Evaluate button. That will open a dialog asking you if you want to reset your password.

However, I believe it will also remove all account passwords as a security precaution.
