Clear remembered passwords

Sat Jan 24, 2009 11:58 pm
Hello,
How does one clear a password that is remembered by KDE? I accidentally clicked OK on a dialogue box requiring root authentication before I noticed the "remember password" box was checked. Now each time that (critical!) application is launched there is no request for password auth before the application opens. I tried changing the root password but then the target application would not load at all.

Thanks for the help!

Try looking in the kwalletmanager.

I've never saved root passwords, but I'm pretty sure they would also get stored there.

Thanks for the post, Alec.

I had already tried KDEWalletManager before posting. No go. There is nothing stored there.

B.T.W., I didn't intend to store the root password!

Which application was it "remembering" the password? Some applications might store it seperately in encrypted form in their configuration file.
