Wireless password problem

Just a user

We have recently implemented wireless access at work. Here's what happened:
The network technician tested the wireless on my laptop. The security for
the wireless is based on login credentials for the domain, same username and
password to authenicate. He logged in with his credentials to test the
connection. It worked fine. Since there is no option to save password, we
thought it would ask me to authenicate when I used it. We are not logging
into the domain, just using the authenication.
Problem is, XP is caching his username and password and authenicating using
them. I need to find where XP caches this username and password and remove
them so I can authenicate to the wireless.
I have searched the registry for his username and it is not found. I have
tried the IE clear passwords and it did not help either.
Any help would be appreciated.
Have a good day!

Try logging into another profile and see if this with prompt you. If
so, you can try recreating your profile. Not sure about where this is
stored.

Tried that and even tried logging into the domain. No luck, but thanks.
