I set it up on my "upstairs computer" and then came to my "downstairs computer" to synch and I can not get into the account because of the above password problem. I write down my passwords. I must have mistyped it or mis written.

I want to change my password

hello mswan, you can reset the password of your firefox sync account at https://accounts.firefox.com/reset_password

Open the Firefox Password Manager on the "upstairs computer" to get the password from there.

Options > Security --> Passwords -- Saved Passwords

then hit the Show Passwords button

Then at the top look at the chrome://weave(MozillaServcesPassword) for your Sync password.

The new Sync version uses the Firefox account and stores the login data (username/email and password) under the https://accounts.firefox.com site heading in the Password Manager and use the signedInUser.json file in the profile folder to store the credentials once connected to the account to avoid having to enter the master password on each start.
