how to clear credentials cache

[Henry]

While doing a backup of my files, the software I'm using shows a windows
explorer-like inteface so the user is able to select items to be backed up.
Then it hangs for a long time and then presents the login screen of a ftp
site that I haven't accessed for a long time. After I cancel, it shows also
the .NET passport login screen. Only after I cancel both the backup process
can begin.
It looks like my software is searching through all possibilities and these
two are somewhere in cache. However, in an attemp to clean it out, I've
searched through the registry and also several other places in my hard disk
and I couldn't find where this info is stored!
What's the way to wipe the ftp info out of my system???
Many thanks!

The name of the software you're using might be helpful in determining where this information is stored.

I'm using Genie Backup but the FTP site was not used with it!
I opened my site with Windows Explorer, which cached my password somewhere.
When Genie starts up, it sees this info someway and tries to access that
folder! That's the reason why I'm trying to clear this cached password!

Cached passwords are stored in the Registry, in a key that's normally not accessible, even to Administrators.

fAnTaStIc!!!
But as I reinstalled Windows my site's password isn't there anymore. STILL,
Genie still finds the ftp address and tries to reconnect. Because the
password isn't there, Genie opens a window asking for the ftp password - but
only after a lot of time of wait. This piece of info is somewhere else!!
