Resetting the saved password in Nautilus of fedora 11


Dear All,

I have been using Nautilus file browser in my fedora 11 desktop to browse Samba shares of our servers. Let me explain my problem.

We have two users test1 and test2 who can access Samba shares for downloading and uploading files.

test1 has read only access.
test2 has read/write access.


When I initially connected to the samba share through test1 user through Nautilus file browser I clicked on remember password.

But now when I try to access the share again, its not prompting for password. It is directly taking test1 user's password who doesn't have write access to share.

How to get the password window back to fill test2 username and password.?

Thanks in advance.

You could try nuking ~/.nautilus
I can't see password related things in there, but you might.

I got the solution smoker, Actually these passwords are being handled by gnome-keyring-deamon.

I deleted login.keyring file in my home directory. Now it has started asking password.

Code:
rm ~/.gnome2/keyrings/login.keyring
