Well since you change your password on the website, First make sure you are still able to log in on the website. If this goes well then it should be only be a matter entering your new password and making sure that the save password is check so TB can use the new on the next connection.
Your new emails will not be downloaded until the password issue is corrected in TB and it must saved so TB can use it on the next connection. Then it is just a matter of connecting a second time for the emails to be downloaded. TB stores the incoming and outgoing passwords as separate items so you will need to enter and save both items even though they are using the same password. You can also check your stored passwords for incorrect entry; although, any new password entered and saved will overwrite any previous password entry. BTW I change my passwords every month or so for security reasons here.
