I copied this question from Superuser, because it gets views, but not a single answer. Hope this is the way to do it.



In our office we are using shared folders (smb) at different hierarchy levels. I need to jump between (for example) being "martin" and "admin".



Also this is useful when I make a typo in my password and need to start over without re-booting my machine.



In Windows it took me a long time to find, but I can use this command (for example to drop my credentials for a NAS:



net use 192.168.0.nnn /del


Then I restart my File-Explorer and when I access a shared folder I get asked again for my user-name and pw.



Now I am searching for the equivalent when working on a Linux machine please.



When I search for this problem, I find many pages explaining how to change the status/access-rights of a given folder; but nothing on how to change my user for accessing such shared folders, sorry.
