"Remember my password on this computer"

[edgavin42]

I have Windows XP home; while changing over from AOL to VerizonDSL I inadvertently answered "yes" to the question "Do you want your password to be remembered on this computer?" I'd rather type in my password each time I need to, but it just pops up as soon as I log in with my user name. Verizon was  unable to help me, so I think it probably is a Windows issue. Thanks for any help you can give me.

This MIGHT be one of those passwords that's stored in the *.pwl files.  Search for them under c:\Windows, or under C:\Documents and Settings.  You can safely delete them.
