Question Sharing Issue - One Strike and I'm Out?

I'm trying to get at my calibre library by way of the "Connect"->"To Content Library" dialog.

I misremembered my password and now I get a 500 error when attempting to connect. Calibre Connect never seems to reprompt for my proper credentials, it saved the bad password permanently.

Is a reinstall of the app my only recourse?

I assume you mean "To Content Server". If so, then no, you don't need to reinstall. Go to CC's Settings / Other / Delete passwords.

However ...
I don't know what content server you are using, but it is seriously broken. Error 500 is an internal server error, not an authentication failed error. It should be giving "401 Unauthorized", which is what calibre itself does. I have a reverse proxy connection behind apache, and it also gives the 401 error.
