Default My Network Password!

One of my student at my school "accidently" clicked the "Remember my
password" button, is there a way to make the computer "Forget my password".
Please email responses to raymond_beavers@mywitcc.com. Thanks Very Much,
RyBvrs

I forgot, you may want to keep AutoComplete for Web addresses. Sorry.

Go to Control Panel > User Accounts
Click on your account, or the account you wish to change.
On the right hand side there should be a box that says "Related Tasks" with
an option saying "Manage my network passwords"
Any passwords you want to get rid of, just click on it and hit remove.
Let me know if this helps.

Default Re: My Network Password!

Ken and others,
I had the same problem. From Vista Ultimate, I could not access a network
resource. I had entered the other computer name (an XP Pro in a Windows
workgroup), entered a correct user id on that computer, but an invalid
password. And I ticked the box to remember the password.

Now, I could "open" the other computer and see all of its network shares,
but none of the network shares could be opened - access was denied.

I went to user accounts, manage my network passwords - THERE WERE NO
ENTRIES. So I couldn't remove the invalid entry. I also was not prompted for
a correct entry.

Eventually, after searching everywhere in the knowledgebase, I decided to
reset the password on the user account - this deleted all stored passwords,
and I started fresh with the correct user id and password.

Does anyone know of a less drastic means to remove the offending but
invisible stored password?

Is this a bug that should be reported?

I would say that this is definitely a bug within vista and should be
reported to microsoft. If there's a stored network password that is
completely invisible... there's something wrong there. I'm sure you could
find the information in the registry or embedded somewhere on the computer,
but that would be a huge strain just for a simple password and should be
found alot easier on the computer.
