If you told Thunderbird to remember your account password, you can look it up in your Options.
At the top right of the Thunderbird window, click the menu button 
, then select Options > Security > Passwords > Saved Passwords > Show Passwords.
If not, check with your email provider about password reset options.

Password to what?
Thunderbird Master Password?
OS Level Keyring Password?
Email Specific Password?
I am trying to reset my account. It asks for the password created originally to access emails etc
Access in gmail or Tbird? if tbird that is likely a master password, in the latter case, backup the present profile and create a new one and reset that way.
Problem is Thunderbird. I need a password to reset my account.
