Credentials not accepted when changing source on my sheet

Hello.

I am trying to change the source from my locar server (database is in postgres) to an AWS Lightsail (database also in postgres)

when i am asked for the credentials i enter them and is does not accept them 
Error shown 

i tried this solution but it does not work

Use a Different Browser for Authentication

  1. If you are using OAuth or another web-based authentication method, try using a different browser or clearing your browser cache.
  2. In Power BI Desktop, go to File -> Options and settings -> Options -> Security.
  3. Enable the option to use your default web browser for authentication

    Any suggestions ?
  • Power Query is sneaky. It caches the credentials you entered. You need to clear them before you can reauthenticate differently.

  • dmagos Go to datasource settings -> Select your datasource -> Clear Permissions, now hit refresh and re-enter your credentials
