Tools > clear private data > tick "passwords"

But you'll have to re-enter ALL of your saved passwords.

something like tools -> options -> security -> then you can view saved passwords, and remove them (to add next time)

Tools -> Options -> Security -> Saved Passwords will let you remove the old password, but it should let you update it anyway.

delete the contents of both password and username boxes then left click the username box until the username is displayed in the textbox tooltip (form history).

highlight your username then press DELETE on the kb, this will delete your logon details allowing you to re-enter and re-save them.

Or just do it through the Firefox password manager ¬_¬

If you want to save user/passwords for sites that don't allow you to save them then simply create a bookmark in firefox and edit the URL for it to

Code:

javascript:(function(){var%20df=document.forms,dfe,i,j,x,y;df=document.forms;for(i=0;i<df.length;++i){x=df[i];dfe=x.elements;if(x.attributes['autocomplete']){x.attributes['autocomplete'].value='on';}for(j=0;j<dfe.length;++j){y=dfe[j];if(y.attributes['autocomplete']){y.attributes['autocomplete'].value='on';y.style.backgroundImage='url(http://thatha.qlabs.gr/res/smile.gif)';y.style.backgroundRepeat='no-repeat';y.style.backgroundPosition='center%20left';y.style.paddingLeft='22px';}}}})();

This will force the page to save your logon details which i quite useful for some sites.
