deleting stored passwords by the /savcred option

Posted: 01-14-2007, 12:06 PM
Hello NG,

I stored the Administrator password
with the /savecred option as a normal
basic user to open a program with
Administrator privileges.

1. Where and how is this password stored?

2. How can I delete those passwords?

btw: I don't mean the mechanism/dialogs
which are described at

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/287536 and
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/281660/EN-US/

this describes to store the passwords for
othr computer/domains - Typically use "net use..."
or smarcards or Webaccounts, etc.

If I click Start, run and type "Control Userpasswords2",
and then press ENTER. The dialog in Manage Passwords don't
show me the passords which I stored with

Example:

runas.exe /noprofile /user:MYCOMPUTER\Administrator
/savecred "C:\Program Files\WinRAR\winrar.exe"

Thanks in Advance

S

I believe it's tied into your user account files, nicely bound up and
encrypted. You might want to double check that though... not 100% sure.
