I ‘studied’ a little bit and managed to solve the problem.

I suppose the steps below are obvious and simple for many of you, but this was my first encounter with Terminal app and commands. Anyway this is how you do it:

1. Activate “Developer mode” and “Remote connection” (you have to choose or generate a password for this).
2. Open Terminal app (it gets installed when you activate Developer mode) and get root access by entering “devel-su” (without quotation marks) and then the password set during step 1. Always in Terminal app:
3. Type “chmod -R a+rwX opt/alien/data/system/sync/accounts.xml” and “chmod -R a+rwX /opt/alien/data/system/users/0/accounts.db” always (always without quotation marks) to get permission to rename ore delete “accounts.xml” and “accounts.db” where google account and name are saved.
4. Reboot your Jolla (this is important, I lost a lot of time because of it) and its done: when you open Google Play Store you can enter new login data. I read somewhere that it’s not mandatory to reboot your Jolla, you can restart Alien Dalvik by typing “systemctl restart aliendalvik.service” in the Terminal app but I have not verified if it works.
