Kio-gdrive and lost password

Hello forum,
I installed kio-gdrive for KF5 with successful results. Unfortunately the access is using kwallet, which I forgot the password. That's a bit funny, but in fact I don't have a frequent use on kwallet and it's rather malfunctioning.

So I can reach my google drive, but an error is showing on dolphin without an explanation. I've tried to reset kwallet and I'm facing no response from that.

Forgetting about kwallet, how am I suppose to access g-drive by kio-gdrive?
How to reset to the intial condition when I set the password?

Re: Kio-gdrive and lost password

Thank you!
Your informations were helpful and I solved

EDIT
I thought I solved, but it behaves strangely. I delete the online account and renewed, it work for the first time, when google authorize the access, the following attempts will give an error. I can't track what error is.
In dolphin it reports Unkown Error. I suspect that is not able to provide the credential to access the drive.

I still unable to find an answer. Also I can't get nowhere if I don't have any program debugging and no a minimal sign to trace.

Google changed a bunch of stuff this morning.  If the authentication method is not OAuth2, you are probably not going to win -- it appears that Goggle application passwords are on life support..  See if you can change to the OAuth2 method.

Re: Kio-gdrive and lost password

Is it to say that kio-gdrive is using an obsolete method of access ?
Unfortunately I don't have such knowledge to modify those bits of KDE stuffs
