Find your profile directory. It is probably something like:
c:\Documents and Settings\<profile name>\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\default\<some .slt dir\

You should see a file that ends with a .s extension. i.e.
1234888.s

Delete that file and we will forget your cached passwords.

Eventually I hope to have a button under the advanced preferences panel for forgetting stored passwords.

Hi mscott,

I think it is a "must have" to have the possibility to show / edit stored passwords in the account-settings?!
