Can't authenticate credentials

[poweruser55]

I changed my password and now credentials aren't working. I keep trying to connect with my windows account but keep getting messages like this.

Hi  @poweruser55 ,

May I ask what is your data source?

This maybe a permission/authentication error. When you ever connect to  your data source in an unauthorized account, the corresponding credential would be created.

Under “Global permissions”, choose to delete the old data source connections permission  and click on Edit permission in Power BI Desktop. Then try to connect to it again and check if it is successful.
