VPN passwords are typically not stored in the connection files but in
your desktop sessions keyring application.

- What type of VPN connection was it (OpenVPN, vpnc ,etc)?
- Which desktop environment do you use?
- Which tool did you use, to edit the connection?
- Do you have a backup of the connection file before you opened it? They
are stored in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/<connection name>.
- Can you attach those files from before and after editing it? Make sure
to replace any confidental data.

Thanks,
Michael
