Hi Doug

 

Are you talking about the one in FireFox?

 

Click Tools -> Options and Open Security Tab.

Under the section Passwords, uncheck or check the option Remember Password for sites and if you would like to protect the passwords that are being stored, make sure that you use a master password.

Hi Maynard.I have managed to get myself into a mess as usual.

It won't accept my correct password.

Is this part of IE7 Browser?

I am using IE7 and Opera at the moment. Thanks.

Never had before this reinstall.

If I dump SP3 and go back to IE6,will this get rid of Password Manager?

Don't know if it will get rid of password manager as I haven't used IE for years, but it could cause other problems and would defiantly be less secure.

Hi Match.What I meant was I believe before you can go back to IE6 you have to uninstall SP3 first.

Then reinstall SP3. I didnt mean to delete SP3 permanently.

Or how would I reset the password for Password Manager?

That may be easier.

At present everytime I put in the correct password it appears again straight away.

So I must have entered the wrong password to start with.

Thanks.:)

Hi Doug;

Please be patient with me as I try to understand a few things.

 

Internet Explorer does not come bundled with a password manager. Are you talking about one of the many third party password managers programs for IE?

 

If you do have an add-on program for IE uninstalling would be my choice. Then type the correct password.

 

Or are you talking about IE Autocomplete where it wants to fill in the saved password?

 

If this is the case then the saved password is the wrong one.

 

Just let us know and we will figure it out for you.

Hi Randy. Could you transfer this thread to Emails,as it is to do with tryng to send Emails from Thunderbird.

It is complicated,but I will set out the problems carefully with screen shots.

I am sure you Guys will have the answers,and appreciate your help.

All this was fine till My Hard Drive collasped and the Computer shop loaded windows.

Have set everything up OK except for Thunderbird and Password Manager.Dont remember where that came from.

As far as I can remember it just appeared.

Could be wrong.Sleep deprived.
