When you subscribe to a remote, passworded calendar in Sunbird and tell the 
program to remember your username/password, if your password changes, 
the "remember" doesn't update with the new password. Perhaps add a function 
like in firefox to remove all saved passwords? right now, only solution is to 
delete the user prefs file and re-subscribe to all of the calendars

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Subscribe
2.Enter username/password and check "remember"
3.Change password to log in.
4.Try to get program to remember new password.

Actual Results:  
Program retains old password information in memory.

Expected Results:  
Program should store the new password entered. Alternate solution provided in

I will confirm this bug with a slight change: the new password has to be entered TWICE (i.e. re-launch Calendar twice and be reprompted for user/pass) for change to be accepted.  Of course, the prompts are occuring 3-5 times (already bugged seperately) so this process has to be done twice for changes to "stick".

We really need this. Having to go spelunking in the profile folder to reset any saved passwords sucks a lot.
