[Ham-Computers] Re Erasing Password

Hi All,

I am using Windows XP Home Edition and whatever version of MSIE that it came 
with. Version 6.0?

I logged onto a web site. It asked for my call sign and password. I typed 
them in. It asked if I wanted to save the information to Windows so I would 
not have to type it in in the future? I said 'yes'.

Well, somehow I managed to type in the same information the next time I went 
to this web site. It said that my new password did not match what was 
already stored in Windows. Did I want to make the new password the one I 
wanted saved? I said yes. The result was a duplication of the password in 
the field.

Realizing this, I went to the end of the password field and backspaced 
through all of the asterisks. When all were gone, I typed in the correct 
password. It asked me again since the password I just typed did not match 
the one stored, if I wanted to replace what was stored with the new one? 
Since I believed that it was now correct, I said 'yes'.

The program does not work.

I need to know how to remove the password. I looked in MSIE under 'Tools', 
Internet Options. I found a button to clear cookies, temporary internet 
files and history. Nothing about a password.

Keeping in mind that I am totally blind, please tell me how to clear the 
passwords when in MSIE.

Thank you.
