How to clear stored CREDENTIALS for User Name and passwords

You saved your network log in information and changed your login info or password but you can't access with new info or get it to save the new information. Or you setup an exchange account in outlook and the info has changed for that account but it won't let you change it. You have to clear the old credentials for that account and re-enter them.

In XP & Vista
You have to clear the saved credentials through a command.

Go to START, RUN & TYPE 
rundll32.exe keymgr.dll, KRShowKeyMgr
Select your account and remove.  Now got back and enter your new info and save it.


In Windows 7
Go to START and type in the word CREDENTIAL MANAGER. 
Find the account and remove all instances of it and go back and enter your correct info and save.

COPY FILE TO

Copy yammapi.dll to

C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Common   (If this folder does not exist you will have to create it)

Go to "programs", "accessories" and open "notepad". Then copy and paste the information below starting at "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00" to notepad and save it as a .reg file, such as yahoo.reg

Then double click on the .reg file you saved to add it to your registry. Click ok to add it.
