Windows saves all the usernames and passwords in the Credential Manager. To remove the cached network password and username, you have to remove the network share entry from the Credential Manager.
Follow these steps to remove network credentials from the Credential Manager.
- Open Start.
- Search and open “Control Panel“.
- Set “View by” on top right corner to “Large icons” to see all control panel items.
- Click on the “Credential Manager” option.
- After opening the Credential Manager, select the “Windows Credentials” tab within it.
- Here, click on the Network Share password you want to delete.
- From the credential options, click the “Remove” link.
- Click “Yes” in the confirmation/warning window to confirm that you would like to remove the cached network password from the credential manager.
That is it. As soon as you click yes and confirm the action, Windows will remove network credentials. When you try to log into the network share, you will be again prompted for the username and password. If you select the Remember option, Windows will store the network share login details in the Credential Manager.
