Cannot get Windows to Forget who I am

[msantosnj]

I have a PC that cannot seem to "forget" the stored username/password
for another PC on the local network. I had to copy a file from my
local pc to that target pc, using the C$ administrative share. I had
checked the "Remember my Password" box so that I could easily copy
other files without having to retype my password for that PC.

Now, Windows will not forget me nor can I find a way to clear out this
username/password. This is preventing me from logging onto a company
webpage that utilizes passthrough authentication from Windows (it
attempts to log me in at that uesr instead of my real domain login).

How can I make it so that when I try to access the c$ shared folder,
Windows will treat it as if it's the "first time" accessing that
networked PC and asks you to input a username and password or just to
forget me completely?

It's kinda hard to explain, so if there are any questions, please let
me know. I'm at my wits end!

Hi masantosnj

Try this:

Open the User Accounts applet in Control Panel. If you're connected to a
network domain, select your user on the Users tab, and click Advanced,
Manage Passwords. Otherwise click on your account at the bottom of the
User Accounts window, and in the Related Tasks box at top left, click
Manage my network passwords. That should open a window called Stored
User Names and Passwords where you can identify and delete the offender!

Hope this helps. Let us know how you get on

Thank you so much Nightowl! I love you! I just tried your steps and
it worked! I never knew about that option, nor did any of the other
websites that I've been searching.

Thank you thank you thank you!
