Here's the scenario. We're using dreamwever on Win 2K, which is
accessing a password protected directory. we were advised by the
hosting company that before we set it up in dreamweaver we should go
to Start->Run, or in IE and enter the directory information:

\\10.140.129.59\Website\

The username and password login box then displays and we entered the
information. We set it up all fine and it was working. Then this
morning we were told the password has changed on that directory. I
tried that URL in IE again but since it has stored the username and
password it will not show that box again for me to change it. I just
get an access denied error because the password is wrong. How do I
tell the system the password has changed?

Thanks

Click to expand...

This should work:
start->run->cmd

In the command window:

net use * \\10.140.129.59\Website\ newpassword /user:username

This will map the share to a drive letter.
