Removing Saved Windows Passwords
When you map a network drive or printer, you can have Windows save the login/password info for that account, so that you don't have to reenter it every time you use that resource. The bad part is that there is no normal utility built in to remove that login or change that login. This is especially annoying on my school windows network account, because I have to change my password every so often. What worse is that after a few incorrect logins (which the computer does for me) my account gets locked.
Well A quick google search found me a solution to the problem. Text quoted here:
1. Click Start and select Run
2. In the Open field type "rundll32.exe keymgr.dll, KRShowKeyMgr"
3. Once the Stored Usernames and Passwords interface opens you can select any of the entries and select Properties to view the existing information
4. To remove a saved password you can select one of the entries and select Remove. A confirmation screen will appear. Click on OK and the account will be removed
5. You can add additional saved passwords as well by clicking on the Add button and entering the appropriate information
6. Repeat the steps above as needed to add, remove or edit saved passwords
7. When you are done using the interface click the Close button
