    How do I permanently delete my Mysapce log in password from being stored in Windows. I DO NOT want my Myspace password to automatically log me in to my Myspace account. I want to type in my password myself, everytime I log in to Myspace. I don’t want Window to automatically do it for me. I have Vista. Thank you.

    I would like to introduce Windows Password Recovery Tool 3.0 . it not only supports XP, 2000, and NT, I have personally tested it with Vista Home Premium and Ultimate. It works perfectly to reset any local user account to a blank password. I Wrote it to an old 128mb USB flash drive do this. Booting up and clearing a password takes a minute or two works like a charm. You can download it from http://www.windowspasswordsrecovery.com

    Hey, I also got locked out of my computer several days ago. I tried several free software. It took me two days and got quite messy. Unfortunately none of them work for me. Finally I made it work with Windows Password Recovery Tool 3.0 . The good news is that it works. The bad news is it is not free. You can try Windows Password Recovery . It works for me.
