When ie asks if you want it to remember a password and you check no, what can
you do to get it to ask again if you later change your mind?

Hi,
Work through these three possibilities:
1. Install and run (freeware) Protected Storage PassView from NirSoft:
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/pspv.html Remove any stored login information
for that site.
2. Try this from Robert Aldwinckle:
This *sometimes* works. Delete the Cookie associated with that page.
Then using AutoComplete for that userid delete that userid.
You will get a message to the effect that you would be deleting a userid
and password combination. This is good. Allow that. Now re-enter
your userid and password. Sign on. At this point you will again be given
the choice to save the password. One further wrinkle in this scenario
which I have seen is that the next time you try to use the "saved" password
you may not see any asterisks. Ignore that and pretend that you do see
the asterisks and assume that the password will be presented properly.
Try to logon. I'm not sure if eventually you do see the asterisks or not.
3. Clearing all passwords should reset the "Save Password" option. IE>
Tools>
Options> Content> Autocomplete> Clear Passwords.
Protected Storage PassView will help you recover other cached passwords
*before* you clear all passwords.
* Note that some secure sites, such as banks, don't allow passwords to be
saved.
Hope this helps,
