I am trying to connect from xp pro box to win2k server by entering
\\win2kserver in the run box. It prompts me for credentials because the
credential of logged on user is not the same as that of the local user on
win2kserver. I enter the local win2kserver credentials. Subsequently, when
I enter \\win2server during the same session I am not prompted for
credentials. When I log off and log back in and enter \\win2kserver, I am
prompted for credentials again.

Now if along with credentials I clicked remember password, I would not have
to enter credentials again.

My question is .... How do I change the credentials now?

Thanks in advance
 
In Windows XP there is a new feature called Credential Manager. When you
told it to save your credentials this is where it was placed.

Go to Contol Panel, User Accounts, then choose the advanced tab, the
Manage Passwords. Check to see if you see servername\user, if you do you
can select that and change the password when needed.
