Password Problems

[Robbie Robinson]

To microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics

Windows has been saying that my email address doesn't match with my
password. I answered the question "Do you want Windows to remember
Password?" Yes. What can I do to rescend that and answer No?

If this is in Internet Explorer, retype your password. It will recognize that its different and prompt you to change the stored password.

If the problem is not in Internet Explorer, http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;264672

The above also applies to Internet Explorer and other applications that use the Protected Storage System Provider registry key to store passwords.

Or provide more information as to the application, etc.
