I guess I experienced the same when I migrated a Seamonkey 1.1.x profile
to SM2 after installing SM2.0b1. It seems like SM2 creates a key3.db
file in the profile-directory which is useless. After renaming/deleting
that file everything was fine and even the imported passwords were
accessible.
Hope that helps

Wish I had known that earlier. I actually did a master password reset,
then re-entered all my passwords one at a time. Only had about 15-20
that I still use so not a huge operation. Thanks.
For others; you don't have to do either of the above.
I'm sorry but for now this is wrong. In fact when this problem comes up
for people who had not used a master-password in SM1, they /do/ need to
do that in order to get rid of the not-existing master-password!
Obviously this is a bug as it shouldn't happen, but it happens, so it is
required to do such things for now with beta1 as long as noone comes up
with another solution.
Luckily after deleting key3.db all passwords are remaining intact and
are accessible afterwards. So SM doesn't seem to encrypt with the "new"
(not-existing) master-pw, it just thinks there is one or so (I don't
know about the technical details). So deleting that file is the only
solution for now afaik until this is fixed.
2. If you never had a Master Password in your 1.1.x version and you are
now being prompted for one with SM2 after it's imported your 1.1.x
profile, you shouldn't. Please post with details on what you are seeing.
Again, *Do not" use 'Reset Master Password' (read the warning).
I didn't have a Master-Password either.
I started SM2 after migrating for the first time and it asked for a
master-password right away (I guess because it tries to check for mail
already in SM2 without having to open the mail-window, by default)
So migrating from SM1.1.17 to SM2.0b1 caused a master password prompt
right from the start for me, before doing anything else.
