I have autocomplete enabled for usernames and passwords. My question is: I
have one certain site that I want to delete the password for. Is there a way
to delete the password from this site without clearing out all the passwords
from every site by clicking the clear passwords option.

Well, I looked for a freeware tool to do this. I didn't find one. You can
try this...

Open your registry editor...*
Dig down to here: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\IntelliForms\SPW
Open the Site
Change your password by typing a new one and at the prompt change it
Check back in that string in the registry to find the changed hash
Delete that ONE entry...**

Notes:
* Just so you know editing the registry isn't the brightest thing to do
though many of us do it all the time. However, you have been warned. For a
better warning:

** Before you do this it would be wise of you to right click in the
left-hand pane on the appropriate branch and selecting the "export" option
to save it to a safe location so that you might restore it.
