Here’s the scenario, you’ve got a network share hooked up to a password protected drive, when you entered the login details for that share you ticked “remember password” so you don’t have to enter it every time you access that drive. Times change and you need to use a different username & password, maybe it’s not your machine any more, sounds cool but Windows has remembered those details and isn’t giving you any help in reseting them.

Here’s how.

  • Open Control Panel
  • Click User Accounts
  • Click your account
  • On the sidebar click Configure Advanced User Profile Properties

In a minute you’ll be presented with a list of all the network share’s Windows has remembered for your machine, find the one you want to change expand it and edit or delete it to start again.

Think of it like OSX’s keychain only less intuitive.
