Many web sites require users to login from a popup dialog box, and not on
the website's form itself. On these types of websites, you're given the
option to remember the password when you enter it for the first time. I'd
like to clear out some of these passwords from my system, but I'm having
trouble finding where they're stored. Back in the Win95 days, I remember
these types of passwords being stored in a PWL file. It's obviously a much
more thorough system now, but it's proven to be very difficult to find out
where the system is storing them. In particular, I inadvertently saved a
password to a Linksys WR54G router that I do not want cached on my system.
I should point out that I'm NOT talking about Autocomplete passwords, which
is to say that going to Internet Options / Content / Autocomplete / Clear
Passwords doesn't clear the type of passwords that I'm talking about.
Furthermore, going to Control Panel / User Accounts / Manage Passwords only
shows a partial list of the passwords on my system, which doesn't include
many of the ones that I'd like to delete. Naturally, the same incomplete
list shows when accessing the list via the User Accounts applet or by going
directly to it by executing "control keymgr.dll" or "control userpasswords2"
from the command line.
Does anyone out there know if there's another way to edit/modify/delete
these saved passwords?
