Hello, if you want to clear your Password in Thunderbird so it prompts 
you to enter it again, In Thunderbird go to Edit - Preferences - 
Security  - Saved Passwords highlight your Account and click remove, 
(this wont remove your Account just your password)  Close Thunderbird 
and re open it.  you should be prompted you to re enter your Password, 
you may have to click Get Mail.

Hope this helps
