To manage passwords stored on the computer
Windows allows you to store the different user names and passwords you use to access resources on a network, another computer, or the Internet in one place: Stored User Names and Passwords.
The steps to perform this task differ depending on whether your computer is a member of a network domain or is part of a workgroup (or is a stand-alone computer).
My computer is on a domain
You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group in order to complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from completing this procedure.
1. | Open User Accounts in Control Panel. |
2. | On the Advanced tab, in Passwords and .NET Passports, click Manage Passwords. You can now add a user name and password you use to access a resource, or edit or remove an existing entry. |
My computer is not on a domain
The steps to perform this task differ depending on the type of user account you have.
If you have a computer administrator account
1. | Open User Accounts in Control Panel. |
2. | Click your account name. |
3. | Under Related Tasks located on the left side of the window, click Manage my network passwords. You can now add a user name and password that you use to access a resource, or you can edit or remove an existing entry. |
If you have a limited account
1. | Open User Accounts in Control Panel. |
2. | Under Related Tasks located on the left side of the window, click Manage my network passwords. You can now add a user name and password that you use to access a resource, or you can edit or remove an existing entry. |
