I want to change the VPN on my Samsung Galaxy S but it keeps asking me for my credential storage password. Does anybody know how I get this?

  • It's been two and a half years. Is there still no answer to this for recent Android versions?

  • I know this is six years old, but the password (which I don't ever remember setting) ended up being the pin I used to have on the phone, if that ever helps anyone.

Go to Settings -> Location and security -> Credential storage -> Set password to change it.

    Do you know what the correlate for this is on recent Android versions? The menu items are not at all the same anymore.

On recent versions of Android (since 4.3, at least) you have to set a password as your device unlock method. If you have a pin or pattern unlock configured, it seems that there is no way to access VPNs. Dumb, but it is what it is.

Just go to settings > security > screen lock, and choose password.
