It also happen to me with my vpn-pptp connection. I am unable to change
the password.
To connect to some VPN networks a new password is needed in each
session. And It is really frustrating to delete the old connection and
create a new one every time a need to connect to the vpn because I need
to use a different password and the network-manager don't let me to
reuse the configured connection with another password.
It just only work the first time. I mean network-manager only let me
type the password (if I didn't type it when configuring it, as logical)
the first time I'm connecting to the network.
In Hardy I was able to retype my password whenever I wanted to connect to the
vpn.
I think the user should have the possibility to specify if he/she wants to
retype his/her password every time and remember the name or, maybe, both
his/her user name and password.
