Removing Eclipse Secure Storage Password
After trying to setup eclipse to use the uni’s proxy settings eclipse set a password everytime a booted up. My own fault for not reading what I was doing but that not the point. Anyway a quick way to remove it is to remove the org.eclipse.equinox.security folder in the eclipse folder
$ rm -rf ~/.eclipse/org.eclipse.equinox.security/

For Galileo, it is also possible to delete it from within Eclipse.
Go to Window -> Preferences
General -> Security -> Secure Storage and click “delete”

In Helios, after navigating to Secure Storage, select the Contents tab to get to the Delete button.
