Windows password and network password

[Guest]

I work on a desktop at work and use a laptop at home to connect to office.
Whenever I change the network password on the desktop, I get a problem
logging into the domain from my laptop. It still accepts only the old
password for logging in and after I log in the system throws an error that
the network credentials are incorrect. After logging into the VPN, I tried to
lock the system and then unlock it using the new password, but no luck.
How can I remove the cached old password?

I think this isn't so much a cached password issue, as that one machine is a
domain-member, and the otrher is not.

On a domain-member machine the domain password will be used to lock the
computer. On a standalone computer the password used by screensavers, etc.
will be that of the local user-account, even when you connected to the VPN.

I have used the lock and unlock computer with new credentials trick and got
it to work but I do it before I try to access any domain resources. I also
use the built in MS client VPN that uses mschapv2. If nothing seems to work
you will need to connect your laptop to the domain to refresh the cached
credentials. --- Steve
