Having Logon trouble? Could it be saved passwords?

Parents,

One of the things that you shouldn't do is say "yes" to the "Remember this password" screen that pops up. Since our passwords become encrypted as they are saved, the password many times is not remembered correctly and you will have logon problems. Here's some solutions you can use if this is already an issue for you. If it isn't - make sure you don't save the password at any time.


1) IE 6 remembers passwords until you go in to delete them.
In case anyone needs a way to stop it, this is how:
Tools-then,
Internet Options-then,
Content tab-then,
Auto Complete button.
Then you can uncheck the 'Usernames and Passwords on
forms'
and the button that says 'Clear Passwords'
To get rid of all the old passwords.
Or
2) For those of you that originally said "yes" to remember this password and are frustrated by how you now have to try at least twice to enter PowerTeacher, here is a way to fix that issue if you have Internet Explorer 6, possibly 7. Go to Tools at the top of your page, click on Internet Options. It should be open to have a General Tab as the first tab. On that page click on Passwords to delete saved passwords. Then click OK at the bottom. This should take the passwords out. When you type in your password again and the dialog box comes up, Do you want to remember this password, before you say NO, click in the box that says do not ask this question again, then say NO. This will stop that problem of having the encrypted password saved incorrectly.
