password

OMO or Rinso, LOL

Sandpaper Wash your mouth out you naughty boy.


Seriously it will be the cookie from his previous setting that is causing the trouble.
Delete all Internet temp files and cookies and when you relogon you will put your new password in and save it and Bobs your uncle


Cheers

Then you only have to remember every other password you ever used for everything else, LOL. + you will lose all your history.
JMHO, Cheers, Colin.

Thats rubbish I clean mine out regularly and have a year of history and never lose it If you do it correctly you only delete what i said.

In Firefox you go to Tools/options/privacy/ cookies/show cookies and then you can delete them

In IE it usually in C/ documents and settings/username/ local settings/ temp internet files.
Highlight half a page at a time and delete them.
Reason Windoze geys upset if you do too many at a time.

In neither case do you lose your history.

yes you will need to relogon everywhere but you do keep a book with your passwords dont you.

Oh you dont well too bad if your machine crashes.

LOL

goodday mate
is that like the sailor and the virgin and trust me
how yo going anyway we are currently in tassie and will be meeting tiger tas tomorrow
whatt have you been up to lately how is jeff going

steve

As suggested above go Tools/options Privacy and scroll down until you get to exploroz and select "remove cookies".
This leaves all other
cookies in place and you will avoid the need to relog on to the others

Very good Peter didnt know that one as have only recently installed Firefox

I didnt look at it carefully enough late last night when trying to find the solution.

What most people dont understand is that the cookie with which you are identified to the website is ON YOUR COMPUTER and NOT the website.


Cheers

What most people also don't know is that passwords are not stored in cookies - in Firefox go to Tools > Options> Security and you will find a button labelled 'Saved Passwords' about half way doen the RHS. Click on that and you will find the URL of each site you have saved passwords for and your log-on name. You have to click another button to find the actual password (and this feature can be protected by a password if you are paranoid or have others that use your computer.)

People attribute cookies to be a lot more things than they actually are.

That only applies if you have ticked "Save Passwords"

AS I havent there are none saved.

Yes Graham, they will only be there after you save your password. I always do, I am the only one who uses this machine so I click the save password box every time I enter a new password protected site. I do this so that I can find the password and log on after I do things like upgrading. I also use Foxmarks to keep my desktop and laptop synchronised - this keeps passwords and bookmarks the same on both.
