How to force the insertion of credentials?

Hi, I connect to a Power BI dataset via Excel. The thing is, I have several accounts and every now and then I get this problem where it tries to connect using another account that is not the correct one. Before, I would clear the Excel cache or remove the accounts in Credential Manager and it would work, asking me to enter the account username. Now I can no longer force this request for credentials.

I've tried it and I couldn't figure out how I can log in again to this connection, which is saved on my machine as an ODC connection. Can anyone give me some guidance on how to solve this?

    There is a bug with version 2410 Build 16.0.18129.20100 64-bit. With that, I reverted Excel to version 16.0.17928.20156.
