Clearing stored username and passwords

How do I clear saved usernames and passwords stored in
cache for network resources?

My works account keeps locking because I have changed the
password their and not on my home computer.

Thanks in advance
Dave

Go to Control Panel | User Accounts, click your account, and click
"Manage my network passwords".
