   Unfortunately, this wipes out all saved credentials for all repositories. If you only want to clear one of them, you’ll need to go digging a little deeper.

   For example, on my system (XP), the credentials are located here:

   C:\Documents and Settings\Brad\Application Data\Subversion\auth\svn.simple\

   The files in that folder are viewable in your favorite text editor. You won’t be able to edit them, but it will tell you the repo location and username which should be enough to positively identify the one you want. Once you’ve found it, just delete that file.

    This didn’t work on TortoiseSVN 1.6.16 Build 21511 – 64 bit

    While it does gray the box after clearing the saved data, TortoiseSVN did not prompt for username and password when I tried to create a new repository.

    It just said “target machine actively refused connection”.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks – just what I was looking for. I already thought about adding another SVN client – but that would have been an overkill.

    Hey! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog. Is it very hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I’m thinking about making my own but I’m not sure where to start. Do you have any points or suggestions? Appreciate it

    A person essentially help to make seriously articles I would state. This is the very first time I frequented your web page and thus far? I surprised with the research you made to make this particular publish extraordinary. Wonderful job!
