login name and password

[Guest]

I typed my login name and password into messenger service but put them both on the one line, now everyone can chose my usernamepassword from that line and just type the password into the box below and have access to my account. I will change my password, but it's embarassing that everyone can see the old one when they're logging on. How do i get rid of it
I have tried uninstalling Messenger, deleting all the files i could find associated with it, downloaded it again and still same problem. is there a reference there in the registry that is keeping it in that drop down list? I've tried wiping all the autocomplete in Internet Explorer too but to no avail! Please help

I don't sure my way can help you: Open "Internet Oppsite", choose the forth
card, click "Automatic Complete", and then click clear. Maybe this is no
use.

Greetings,

You can remove Passports in the sign in list by clicking the Start Button, then click the
Control Panel. Then, click User Accounts in the Control Panel. Select your account name, and
then on the left side of the screen, under Related Tasks, click 'Manage my Network
Passwords'. In the window that opens, you can remove accounts by clicking the passport you
wish to delete [denoted by (Passport)], and then click the 'Remove' button.
