Visual Studio 2012 won't let me log out of TFS so I can enter new username/password

Question

I've been trying to disconnect or remove my credentials from a machine because of a conflict. However, whilst connecting to the remote TFS server I was asked for credentials, I cannot find a way to log out of the TFS and log in with new credentials to resolve. How can I drop the credentials or simply log into TFS as a different user. This is driving us crazy as we have a mapping conflict issue.

Currently the login to TFS and on VS is different from that of the machine. Is there a way I can just start again.

Answer 1

Check the Credential Manager: Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Credential Manager

There should be an entry for your TFS and your account. Just delete it and you should be asked again for credentials when connecting VS with TFS.
