Cannot retype proper credentials to access SQL Server

When you first connect to a new database, you're given the option to use certain credentials (Windows, Database, Microsoft Account). I had accidentally put in a typo, and was unable to connect as a result. Now, whenever I try to reconnect, it doesn't give me the option to try different credentials and automatically tries to connect me with the credentials that I previously used. I have tried to restart my laptop but it won't work.

In the same page ( suggested above) , you can select the connection and slect "clear permissions" will clear the history and it will prompt you the login detals net time you login.
