Clearing Eclipse Subversion password

Question

Eclipse/Aptana seems to remember my password that I use to access my SVN repositories. Is there a way I can clear the stored passwords?

this one is actually correct, the other linked article doesn't work for win7 – Richard Le Mesurier Feb 13 '12 at 14:32
This is also applicable to Windows 8. – ivanjonas Nov 19 '14 at 15:12

Change the perspective to SVN Repository Exploring. Inside the SVN Repositories view, right click "Location properties... ". A dialog will open and on the first tab you will be able to change your username and password.

Delete file from svn.simple folder for that

Go to C:\Users[username]\AppData\Roaming\Subversion\auth\svn.simple

After clicking {username} if AppData folder is not visible Then Go Tools-->FolderOptions-->View-->click on show hidden folders button.
