Thanks for all the tips and suggestions. In Firefox, you can clear the login (for all sites) by selecting "Tools > Clear Private Data". In IE I could only find the login information cleared by closing the browser.
I've created a Tip & Trick on the wiki. http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net/Tips+and+Tricks You will find it at the bottom. # How to become another user (ie How do I logout from BackupPC) I also created one for moving data from my previous question when I had problems. Please correct them if you feel I have missed something or wasn't clear on my descriptions.

The only way to make it forget is to close the browser (all > windows) and restart it. As someone else mentioned, it can be done by temporarily rejecting the authentication for the same realm. I'm pretty sure I've done this with perl scripts in the past, I just don't seem to recall all the details since it was so long ago. I'm pretty sure you can send/fake the auth denied error the web server would normally send. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIH5OyGyoxogrTyiURAqxeAKCIo3dJUjCKPtj2ckMslLJlCd7SrQCgmiU+ u/Mg2rmaOIwDlppcN4lVqW4= =RVH4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
