I have a stored password from a website on my computer that I would like to
delete, but it does not come up when I look in the windows stored password
box?
How can I delete this password?

That should have said "autocomplete" and then clear out the passwords.

You could do it selectively with various bits of software or rooting through
the registry but the easiest way is to open IE, click on tools, options,
content, and then clearing the passwords.

No problem, it's easier than digging out the individual passwords with a
utility or manually and it's a lot safer too. Of course if you didn't know
your passwords for other sites that wouldn't be the best option...
