Deleting a saved password

M

Marcus P.

When logging on to a password protected website (ebay)
the Windows XP save password dialog box popped up. I was
in a hurry and accidentally hit save password. I do not
want the password saved because I want to control access
to this site so my son wont buy too much junk.
How do I get Windows to forget this password so I can log
on manually.
Thanks Marcus

When an incorrect password appears in a drop-down list,
click once on it to highlight the password, then press your
DELETE key on your keyboard.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough. When I log onto myebay now
the password is automatically inserted and anyone can get
onto my account that has access to this computer. I want
to get rid of this password. I do not want windows to
remember it. I cannot figure out where to go in the
windows program to stop this.

Go to tools - internet Options - Content - Autocomplete and you have there
the option to clear passwords.

Marcus;
Adrian had the answer.
But why do you give others access to your profile?
Create another for them to use then they can not access a site if you
accidentally select the save option.
