Why does PowerBI ask for credentials when refreshing dashboard

Hi,

 

Recently my company moved the SQL database and change the password to a datasource I was connecting to.

 

I've changed the details in the data source settings but everytime I refresh the report, it keeps asking me for credentials to the data source. How can I stop this from happening?

Hi,

 

I've tried this but it doesn't work.

Maybe you are missing some write permissions on your PC?

If this is a problem in Power BI Desktop then you can go to the global permission settings and clear the permissions for that data source.
