Didn't even notice the 'Forget Passwords' menu option. Anyway, seahorse was the perfect solution as I am using the Gnome keyring (~/.gnome2_private/Evolution doesn't even exist for me).
I had toggled enabling/disabling the calendar, which did nothing as far as requesting a new password. I realize Fedora 13 is old, but is there any chance a newer version of Evolution will be put into yum which fixes this bug? Not that critical, since I obviously have an easy way to update the password now, but I thought I would ask.
