Mercurial access forbidden, but no password dialog

Hi all,

I'm using thg since a long time. Now I had the problem, that my
password changed and on the next pull from the hg-server I just became
"403: Forbidden" error, instead of a password prompt. Since I'm on
Windows 7 and the keystore extension is activated, the password is
stored in the "Anmeldeschl??sselverwaltung" (i don't know the english
name).

I found out that after removing the Mercurial key from this tresor, I
got a password request dialog on the next pull and all worked fine.

Does anyone know, why there is no password request when the stored
password in the keystore is wrong?

I already tried a tip with "hg pull --debug", but I think the info doesnt say much:

using http://hgserver.com:8010/hg/Repo123
sending capabilities command
[HgKeyring] Keyring URL: http://hgserver.com:8010
[HgKeyring] Username found in .hg/hgrc: userAB
[HgKeyring] Looking for password for user userAB and urlhttp://hgserver.com:8010
[HgKeyring] Keyring password found. Url: http://hgserver.com:8010/hg/Repo123, user: userAB, passwd: ********

Kind regards
Michael
