Doggie Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Hi guys, simple problem I hope When I connected to my other computer on my network, it prompted me for a password. There wasn't one set as I put it up and I stupidly after attempt a password, clicked on the saving the password so I don't have to retype it or be prompted again, bad mistake. Is there a way to clear that password away?? Now it instantly denies me access as it has a password set and a wrong one at that. Any help would be greatful.

Doggie Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 It doesn't apply to vista i'm afraid, so no progress Anything else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 You need to run the following from a Run dialog (Win+R), not the default start search bar:control keymgr.dllThis will show you the saved keys and creds on your box, and you can remove it from there - I believe this is where these are stored in Vista/Win7.

Doggie Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 Nah I already tried that, only has my Messenger credentials. I seemingly cannot find a way of clearing it or atleast bringing up the prompt, frustrating me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Try mapping a drive to it with a different user name from the command line (net use) and see if that does it. I thought it was stored in the keyring (was in XP), although they did change to credman in Vista >. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doggie Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 Well back again, no luck on that either. I really don't get it. I've got a new laptop and while it can connect to my router for the internet, it still won't let me access my network at all. Theres no password and still get a denied message. Last resort I guess is formating the problem computer but I really don't want to do that as theres too much stuff I'd have to reinstall. Any other ideas?
