"Allow" button on Thunderbird (laptop) not showing, to activate changed password

more options

Trying to get my laptop PC (Windows) Thunderbird to accept change in gmail password. Laptop shows blown-up (Thunderbird, I assume?) screen asking me to click on "allow" button. No such button is visible: presumably it is off-screen? I've tried everything mentioned on internet to deal with this, and nothing works. Thunderbird + gmail worked perfectly on that Dell laptop until I changed the gmail password (using my desktop PC). Any suggestions would be appreciated. E.g., should I take the laptop to BestBuy or another service point? Or am I overlooking something? THANKS, Fred

Maybe you could decrease the value of "Change the size of text, apps, and other items". For example, decreasing from 150% to 100%.

Or maybe you could increase the value of "Display resolution". For example, increasing from 800 x 600 to 1920 x 1080.

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried those (and all related earlier advice on this site) and cannot get anything to work. I've decided to discontinue using TB on my laptop, and switch over to Outlook or some other program. Really sorry to have to abandon TB after 20 or 30 years, but I don't see any other option. Again, thanks for your responsde.
