How can I change a network password that Windows Explorer has saved?


I use Windows 7 and I saved my login to a server in the network. But meanwhile my password has changed. When I now try to access that server then Windows Explorer automatically uses the old user and password, so I get an "Access denied" popup. And my account is blocked after 3 failed login attempts.


How can I delete or change the saved password?



Answer



Windows 7 has a Credential Manager which lets you view/modify that information.
To access it press Win+R, input control keymgr.dll, Enter


Alternately, you can find the tool under Control Panel > Network and Internet > User Accounts > Credential Manager.
