Windows XP offers the ability to save passwords for web sites and network resources. This can be very convenient as opposed to remembering and entering the username and password each time you need access, but it poses a security risk because anyone who has physical access to your computer would also be able to log into those sites using your saved credentials. Windows XP does not offer a very easy way to review or remove the saved passwords. If you follow the steps below you can access a graphical interface to add, remove or edit the saved passwords on a given system.
Step #1:
Click Start and select Run
Or
Press Win+R
Step #2:
In the Run box type "rundll32.exe keymgr.dll, KRShowKeyMgr"
Step #3:
Once the Stored Usernames and Passwords interface opens you can select any of the entries and select Properties to view the existing information.
Step #4:
To remove a saved password you can select one of the entries and click Remove. A confirmation dialog will appear. Click on OK and the account will be removed.
Step #5:
You can add additional saved passwords by clicking on the Add button and entering the appropriate details. Also you can perform edit, remove operations.
Step #6:
When you are done click the close button to exit.
