Window -> Preferences -> General
-> Security -> Secure Storage, switch to the "Contents"
tab; press "Delete". 

That said, regular changing of the Windows
password should not invalidate the secure storage. There are some situations
described here:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=274128

that can cause that to happen; most
notably it happens when administrator resets user's password.

Sincerely,

Make the question simpler:

How to delete the secure storage when the system user password has been
changed?
 
2010/2/1 魏昕路 <appleren214@xxxxxxxxx>
Hello,
 
I'm using secure storage to store my
password. I changed my system password by the prompt that I'm getting from
the windows logon screen as a reminder that my password expired. After
that, the password can not be read and it can not be stored again. It only
occurs on some of my Winodws machines.
 
I'm thinking about solve the problem
by removing the secore_storage file in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\.eclipse\org.eclipse.equinox.security
when get exception when reading the password. However, there's only one
internal method "InternalExchangeUtils.defaultStorageDelete()".
I'm not supposed to use that internal method although it did solve the
problem.
 
I also tried to use my own secure_storage
file. The code I used to open and delete my secure preference is:
 
root = SecurePreferencesFactory.open(storeUrl,
null);
passwordNode = ibgRoot.node(PASSWORD_NODE);
 
public static void clearStore() {
{
    ....
    passwordNode.clear();
    passwordNode = null;
    ....
    File file = new File(storeUrl.getPath());
    file.delete();
}
 
But still I can't store the password.
There'll be a StorageException when:
 
passwordNode.put(PASSWORD_KEY, password,
true); 
 
I think something should have been missed
in clearStore(). (maybe close() ?)
Is there any one in the list can help
me?  Thank you!
