I found the answer to my question in one version of the Mozilla Help
file, and am posting it here in case anyone else might also need this
information. I couldn't exactly follow the instructions, but it comes
close.
*****
To reset the Personal Security Password for the PSM Private Keys
security device, follow these steps:
Exit the browser.
Delete your cert7.db and key3.db files. These are typically located in
your user profile directory on Windows 95/98/2000/NT (located by default
in C:\\Program Files\Netscape\Users\), or in the directory in which the
Netscape executable resides on Unix.
Relaunch the browser.
Click the lock icon to open Personal Security Manager.
Click the Certificates tab, then click the Passwords button.
Before setting your new Personal Security password, determine what the
new password will be according to the instructions in Choose a Good
Password. Record your new password in a safe place.
