Exclamation URGENT! Where does MS hide the passwords?

Am just about to dispose of a laptop running Win 98 which has been told to "remember" a number of passwords, and I would rather like to delete them before passing the machine on ... Just need to know where Microsoft hides 'em (I know that they are encrypted, but that doesn't mean people can't use them!)

The previous owner didn't do this, and I could, with minimum effort, have logged into any of his accounts ...

Can anyone help with a quick answer?

Tks a stack!
