Remove Passport

[Bob Smythe]

My daughter has used my computer and now I cannot get to a website I need to
because of some damn Microsoft Passport.
Please how do you remove this Passport control?

Thank you.

Carey I know how to delete cookies and have no cookies.

I need to know how to remove this abusive spying monopolistic technology MS
is using called a Net Passport.

Control Panel/User Accounts/Select Your Account/On the Left side of the
screen click Manage Network Passwords, Select Passport.Net\*(Passport) and
click the Remove button.

Bob -
You may find it in Control Panel > Add Remove Programs
list... and you may also find that MS haa quietly added
another user such as ASP.NET. If YOU don't have any
use for 'asp.net' it's quite safe to just delete.

Am I being awfully dumb here, but when I go to Control Panel > User
Accounts, I can only change to
USE A DIFFERENT ACCOUNT or CHANGE PASSPORT ATTRIBUTES.

I want to REMOVE it completely - for good.

Thanking you.

I found it there. I must have been blind.
Many thanks for the assistance.
I did look on the MSKB but could not find it.
