Can't rid system of bad password for log on ??
"EJ" said in :
When I click on my INternet explorer to connect to web through the default connnection, there is a bad password saved in that window. I can delete the bad connection only to have it reappear on the next boot up. How can I rid my system of that bad password/connection error? You never mentioned WHAT type of connection you are using for Internet access. So, are you using dial-up? If so, have you reconfigured your dial-up connectoid under the Network applet to specify your correct password? -- __________________________________________________ __________ *** Post replies to newsgroup.

Have you tried blanking your password (by deselecting the save password option, try to make a connection, abort it) and then filling it in (enable the save password option, try to make a connection, and then specify it)? This not only attempts to blank out your password but also forces a toggle in the state or behavior for that function. Unable to Clear the Password Box in the "Connect to" Dialog Box After Remote Connection http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=303554 Have you checked out the following KB article yet? User Name and Password Not Retained for Dial-Up Connection in Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP-1) http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=818895 Although the KB article says they will waive the service fee, when I have called to get an unreleased hotfix and it sounds very applicable to my problem, they just give me the URL to download the file along with a password (or it is in a temp FTP directory so I have to get it quick). Since they won't know if it fixed your problem (because you've hung up to do the download and then test it), they can't charge you because there is no verification if the alpha hotfix fixed your problem or not. -- __________________________________________________ __________ *** Post replies to newsgroup.

I tried deselecting and reselecting, but not what you describe. Un clear as to when to try abort, but I'll try that.
