Thunderbird smtp password forgotten

About a week or two ago, every email ended with "Login to server smtp.mail.com with username jo4hn@mail.com failed" and a request for a new password. I cannot remember what the password was or if I ever knew it. I worked in CS for 30+ years and am now 20 years in obsolescence. If someone could carefully guide an old fart through this recovery, I will be eternally grateful.
