Script for removing Stored Passwords

No script that I know of but others may chime in.  What are they having issues with.  Have you thought about adjusting your password policy if it is causing that much pain to the users?

Thanks

What is causing the lockout? If it is a when they are at the initial log in to the network then it should inform them that they need to change the password at that time. If that is the stored password then it will change what is stored as well.

IMHO: It is poor practice to store passwords in any case. It sort of defeats the purpose of having a password in the first place.

Maybe this will help:

The user is getting locked out when logging on and using 3rd party software.
The stored passwords are a problem related to the proxy server, file share and Unix share's.
The problem is the password is stored but are not open to the user for when they put there username in it doesn't automatically add the password but windows dose keep a copy and that could be creating conflict.

Have you tried CmdKey?

First run
cmdkey /list

and see if the problematic resources show up.  If so, I think that's your problem.  We've had sync issues with our Proxy because they set IE to remember their passwords too.

Hi, in a batch login script, you should be able to run
cmdkey /delete:*

to delete all stored passwords.

Rob ,

Thanks for your response , If i want to push one script to all machines in the network , ( I can do that), i need the script which would delete all passwords stored in ms credential. however , will try you option too. Thanks a ton for reply

Sure.  Play around with the cmdkey options.  Type cmkey /? and go through some syntaxes.  If you only want to delete ms* credentials, use
cmdkey /delete:ms*
