Are you sure your password is correct? I think if the server rejects you once, and if vpnc is running in non-interactive mode, it will just quit. See do_phase_2_xauth() in vpnc.c.
What exactly do you have to kill to get it to ask for the password again? Killing all of: - NetworkManager - nm-vpnc-server - nm-system-settings - nm-applet does not help.
you get to remove the password from the keyring with gnome-keyring-manager. you can also see the password there unobfuscated to ensure that it's correct.
