When i login to orkut.com,it ask me whether i want to get my password saved.If i agree,then each time when i type my login name,password comes automatically in the password box.I think this must be due to cookies.Can i get those cookies and do modification on them so that next time when i login,password doesn't come automatically in password box.
Thanks

Not a servlet issue. Moving to general computing.

I think you need not to delete or change the cookie
In most website there is a check which will ask you save or save the infromation.
You just need select your option.

This process has nothing to do with cookies. It is the browser that asks you whether it should save the password. It depends on the browser how you can turn off this feature; in Firefox, it's under Preferences (or Options) --> Security --> Passwords.

Just look through all the options in the Internet Options dialog; you're bound to find it.

Hi Ulf,thanks for your reply.
But as far as i tried,
i got only one thing: Tools-->Internet Options-->Security-->Internet(Custom Level)-->User Authentication-->Automatic logon only in Intranet Zone(it was already present,i changed to Prompt for username and password).

But,then also it is showing me password after writing my username in orkut.com.
Please help me out.

hi ulf,
thanks a lot dear.I got it.
under Autocomplete,just by doing clear passwords,our password will not be displayed again and again.
Two more things to clarify :
1.These passwords must be stored in some file in our pc,may be some dll or some other file.I was trying for that under :
C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\Connection Wizard

Many files are there under Connection Wizard directory,but,which one stores the passwords,i don't know.Please tell me if you know and whether i can edit there only in that file.
2. In yahoo messenger,there is no issue of internet explorer,so i think,in the directory under the installation directory of yahoo messenger,there must be some file which is storing passwords for yahoo messenger.please correct me if i am wrong somewhere.
Thanks again.
