Delete Cached Windows Network Share Passwords

Question

I have an XP/Pro computer which has some cached credentials for a network computer share it is trying to connect to. While the credentials are correct enough to connect to the computer, I actually want to use a different set of credentials.

So the cached credentials are good enough to connect to \computer, but not \computer\share because that user account doesn't have permission.

Where are these cached credentials, and how might I change/remove them?

Answer 1

On Windows XP, click Start - Settings - Control Panel - User Accounts - Your username - Manage network passwords (on the left hand side). You can add, edit and remove saved credentials here for accessing network resources here.

Answer 2

Try going to Control Panel -> User Accounts then click on the Advanced tab. There is a button there that reads "Manage Passwords" I believe these may be the credentials you are referring to.
