Some time ago i've set a password for TorGuard VPN application. Now i can't enter application since pass is incorrect.



There is no setting for PolicyKit-Kde in System Settings.
How do i reset/restore a password now ?

uname -a



Linux host 3.16.0-5-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.16.51-3+deb8u1 (2018-01-08) i686 GNU/Linux
