Windows – Remove Saved / Cached Network Passwords







This is more of a curiosity then a real problem. Most of user like to save password but when password change then it can create issue.Windows 7 / 2008 R2 like previous versions of Windows, caches your user names and passwords entered for network shares, drives etc. That's fine until there's an incorrect password or username in the cache, and you want to remove it.
With Windows XP you could do this by running "control userpasswords2" and deleting the offending entry. With Windows 7 we have Credential Manager to do this for us.

Method 1 :- 
  • If you saved a password for a network drive in windows and want to remove it, press the keys [Windows] + [R] to open the windows command line. Then enter "control keymgr.dll"and click on "OK" to open the windows credential manager which allows you to manage and delete passwords saved in Windows.
 
  •  Once open, you can locate the offending saved username and password and remove it.  
Method 2:-  You can also run the following command then remove the offending entry;
                       just type in Command Promote(cmd)  "rundll32.exe keymgr.dll, KRShowKeyMgr"
CMD
 Now Restart and Log in it's working.......
