Windows allows you to store the different user names and passwords you use to access resources on a network, another computer, or the Internet in one place: Stored User Names and Passwords.

The steps to perform this task differ depending on whether your computer is a member of a network domain or is part of a workgroup (or is a stand-alone computer).

My computer is on a domain

You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group in order to complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from completing this procedure.

Open User Accounts in Control Panel.
On the Advanced tab, in Passwords and .NET Passports, click Manage Passwords.
You can now add a user name and password you use to access a resource, or edit or remove an existing entry.

My computer is not on a domain

The steps to perform this task differ depending on the type of user account you have.

If you have a computer administrator account
[list=1][*]Open 'User Accounts' in Control Panel[*]Click your account name[*]Under 'Related Tasks' locasted on the left side of the window, click 'Manage my network passwords'[/list=1]

And that will bring up your passwords (well it does for me also on XP Pro!)
