If you've set a password on the identity and forgot it, the best i can suggest is to create a new identity and import the DBX files.
otherwise when the dialog box comes up to select an account hit manage identities. try entering the password there.
and if successfull try removing the password. if you still can't get into it. just go with option one.
more then likely the user has had capslock on when entering the password.

When you login into a web site with user name and password, you sometimes have the option to store the password
in your computer. If you choose to save the password, in the next time that we'll visit this site, the password field will be automatically filled with your password, but you won't be able to view it, because the password-box shows the password as sequence of asterisks (****). This utility reveals the passwords stored behind the asterisks in the web pages of Internet Explorer 5.0 and above. You can use it for recovering a lost web site password, if it's stored on your computer.
