How to change users in TortoiseSVN

I was setting up another user to use our SVN repository. He didn't have a username/password, so I logged in with my credentials. We now have a username/password for him.

How do I get TortoiseSVN to logout and forget the old password so I can enter the new username/password?

  1. Open Windows Explorer.
  2. Right-click anywhere in the window.
  3. Click TortoiseSVN → Settings.
  4. Click Saved Data.
  5. Click Clear beside Authentication Data (see below).
  6. Check the authentication items to clear.
  7. Click OK.

All saved Authentication Data for all projects is deleted.

You will have to re-enter credentials to reconnect.
