Lost Password

[tsmith777]

I have a brand new Dell 8920 and am trying to install TB but I have lost the password, is there a way to loccate the password so I can set up Tb on the new one> Thanks

If you copy over the files from the old machine to the new you should bring the password over as part of that process.

Dan, I am afraid the articles you listed are just too complicated for me, I am a novice. I do have Mozbackup installed on the new computer but when I click Restore and select TB it says that is not a valid restore point, but it shows the latest version of TB, so I am at a loss.

The term "restore point" is not one I usually associate with MozBackup. It sounds more like something Windows itself would report. Do you have MozBackup 1.5.2 Beta 1 installed?

If that article was intimidating, see if this one is more understandable -- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/ba ... x-profiles

Dan, that is much easier to understand. Thanks

You're welcome.
