  How can I clear saved creds in IE? Reply Contact I had a security problem accessing an IIS site I'd created - I was getting the IE credentials prompt.  During the process of working it out, I entered my server admin creds and accidentally clicked "Remember my password" and clicked OK before I could stop myself.  In order to break the cycle of IE using my server creds, I ended up having to change my server account password. So, now I'm back to being prompted for creds but IE is pre-filling the "User name:" field with my server admin ID.  And, prior to this, it's submitting my server creds to the server.  I know this because I can see Security event 529 "Unknown user name or bad password" for my server creds every time I try to access the site. How can I clear these saved creds from Internet Explorer?  I'm using IE7.

Reply Contact Hi, You can run inetcpl.cpl from the run command(or command prompt) and click on the Delete button in the General tab. You want to delete Form data and Passwords.  But be aware that, this will clear all the form data and passwords for all the web sites. Thanks, Mukhtar Desai IIS Performance Team

Reply Contact Thanks for the reply.  I tried that but it didn't seem to work.  I carried on digging and I found this post which led me to this post and this command: rundll32.exe keymgr.dll,KRShowKeyMgr which allowed me to remove the offending creds.
