My primary password is not being accepted. Is there any way to create a new one? I have the instructions Reset your Primary Password if you have forgotten it. I do not understand how to copy text and paste y the Console

You do not need to copy or paste. you can type it in. the copy/paste dance is this: - highlight the text to copy - press cntl and 'c' - locate the place to paste it and press cntl and 'v'

Go to tools>Developer tools>error console - enter this text 

   openDialog("chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xhtml")

This process erases all passwords.
