If you use Basic Authentication then the password is saved by your browser, 
and there is no way for a web server to tell your browser to forget the 
saved password without the browser showing the login dialog again.

However, you can set Zope up to use other forms of authentication (e.g. 
cookies) and the browser can be told to forget cookies.

So the answer to your problem is to look up the various ways to do cookie 
based authentication in Zope. If you are using Zope 2.3 or above then all 
you have to do is add a CookieCrumbler instance to the folder containing 
your acl_users.
