Changing Network Credentials (win7)

paradisiac · 18 Apr 2012 at 19:25

to access my Server folders in 'My Computer' for the first time i had to put in my username/password for server. which i, without thinking, used the admin one. now i have access to everything, which i dont want. is there any way to forget these details so i can log in as my user on the server?

Code:

net use :X /delete (where X is your drive letter you mapped)

Code:

right click mapped drive > delete?

i havent mapped the drive, i mean in 'My Computer' in the 'Network' drop down. when i click on SERVER it shows up all shared folders, which is fine, but i can access them all as i stupidly logged in as admin.

Control Panel - Users - Credential Manager.
Select the credential(s) and Remove from vault.

So your client PC has the same credentials as your server admin?

You'll need to change one of them.

no, when i clicked on it first time it popped up and asked me, so i used my servers admin login (i really dont know why). i have just created another 'test' user on my client pc, and it asks me to login, so i did with the users login, and still credentials is empty in control panel

oh right then that case the permissions are wrong on the server. You need to change the permissions to sort this one out.

permissions server side are fine, as when i used the test user i could only access the folders i shared for that user. the issue is with my normal user, i dont want to be logged in as the admin, i want to be logged in as the user.

I see what you mean now, when you reboot do they stay there? Did you put a tick in the box when it said 'remember this password'?

If you never clicked save my password then you should be able just to log off/reboot to solve it.
