I recently downloaded and installed T/B after having lost the use of it 
a couple of months ago when it refused
to recognize my password or any new one. Now it is working, and I hope 
it continues. At any rate, I did not see
anything about a Master Password. What is it, and where is it, and 
should I need it?
