HI Budieus, Thank you for your post, can you please elaborate on what help is needed. Its not that we do not want to, its just I am not to sure what steps were taken before the master password was lost.

Thanks, and hope to hear from you soon.

As I said in the caption my password was lost after the latest update of Firefox last week. The "master password" for save passwords. I kept getting the message to check spelling or "is caps lock" on. So I went to the disk where I keep a copy of my passwords. I got the same message there. I was in a panic! Well I thought maybe the caps lock is on! But the light for caps lock was not on. I clicked it anyway and that was the problem. It works/lights now. I hope nothing else goes wrong with my computer. It is getting older.

If it happens again then try to reboot the computer.
