How to change preferences in Password manager
There are sites that I previously told Opera to "Never" remember passwords and data for and now I want Opera to remember passwords for but Opera no longer asks me what to do on those sites and when I open "Preferences>Forms>passwords I only see the sites Opera has stored information for and nowhere to change preferences or delete former commands to not remember passwords.Is there a way to change this so I can now get Opera to remember passwords for this site?
The reason is I'm now using a linux based Operating system (Ubunto-KDE-4) and my old password manager I used does not work and I can't find one inside Linux that I like so want to use Opera with a master password to access those sites.
If it ain't broke,tweak it!

IIRC you need to delete the site's entry from the Wand settings, to make Opera forget your earlier choice of not saving passwords.
Press Ctrl+F12 to open the Preferences dialog.
Go to the Wand tab.
Select the site you want to change.
Press the Delete button.
The next time you visit that site and log in again, Opera should prompt about saving the password.

The process for getting to the tab Autistic Cuckoo refers to is a little different on a Mac - it's listed under tools - advanced - password manager. It may also be different on Linux, but once I got there it took me a while to find the correct password to delete. The title wasn't exactly what I expected (I use Time Warner Road Runner), but once I found it and deleted it, I was able to save the password the next time I went to my mail site. Thanks Autistic Cuckoo.
