[Ham-Computers] Re Erasing Password

[Dan Violette]

To remove saved usernames and passwords.

Tools, Internet Options, Content Tab, Settings button under Autocomplete.  

There you can erase all the autocomplete stuff.  Also can uncheck three
different choices for autocomplete so they are not used (such as Passwords
if you don't want those store).

Subject: [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.
