I was speaking of the cookies in the client machine.  So in Netscape's
cookie manager (Tools -> Cookie Manager -> Manage Stored Cookies, i think
netscape has one, I use mozilla), find the cookies for your domain and
delete them.

If netscape doesn't have a cookie manager, and you don't mind losing all
your cookies, just delete ~/.netscape/cookie
