Did you try clearing the passwod under "set masterpassword"?

Yes, but when I do this it asks for the Master Password before it will
clear it. Sort of a Catch 22 situation!

There seems to bee some master password fu here:

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Master_password

and here:

http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t10416-forgotten-masterpassword.html

involving either:

1. type in location: "chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xul"

or more desperately

2. remove the files that store the encryption key (key3.db)

With either method, you lose all stored passwords.

Another option of course is to create a new profile.

cheers
