I would like to see a function added to the SeaMonkey v2.04 Password 
Manager. I would like to be able to reset the Master Password, i.e. get 
rid of it completely, without losing all of my stored passwords. I have 
over 100 stored passwords, so re-entering all of them is not a trivial task.

I fully understand the security issue involved: that you can't allow 
someone to remove the Master Password if they don't know what it is 
without also deleting the stored passwords.

I *DO* know my Master Password. I see no reason why there couldn't be a 
function which will allow me to remove the Master Password without 
deleting the stored password database as long as I am able to first 
enter the Master Password to prove I know it.

I would very much appreciate a reply from someone who is involved with 
the ongoing development of SeaMonkey v2. Thanks!

John

Open Preferences, Privacy & Security, Master Passwords. The Reset 
Password button is the one that deletes the stored password database, so 
don't use it. Use the Change Password button instead. (The Change 
Password dialog will warn you that your passwords will no longer be 
protected if you don't provide a new password.)
