How to reset/remove the stored Git password?

Hello,

I accidently entered the wrong password for my git remote server and chose "Save password".

How can I delete that stored password? (NetBeans seems to try to use the old password, causing my Git account to be locked)

I could find a "svn" sub-directory in my NetBeans User directory which apparently stores this for Subversion, but nothing for git.

Thanks
Thomas

Phew!

Ah, that's the one I was looking for in the data directory. Thanks

Jiří's tip to re-enter the password worked for now, but it's good to know what files to clear out if something like that happens again.

Sorry, last one. Specifically on Windows it does use the FallbackProvider
and the passwords are stored encrypted in
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\[VERSION]\config\Preferences\org\netbeans\modules\keyring
where [VERSION] is 12.2 or whatever.

I can see implementations for Gnome, KWallet and Mac, not sure about
Windows. There is a class called FallbackProvider which is maybe used for
windows?

You will be able to see the provider if you enable logging for "
org.netbeans.modules.keyring" at the FINE level.

Thanks, that did the trick.

It would still be interesting where NetBeans stores that password.

Then it's probably not about NetBeans but about the system keychain. 
Which OS are you working on?

No, it's not about Git.

It's about NetBeans (allegedly) storing the password somewhere.

Wish I could help more, but I only use git locally.
Might be helpful to try the git community.

Hmm.

There is no such directory in the NetBeans user directory.

If you are referring to the the config file in the Git repository itself: it does not contain any passwords (or credentials).
