Having trouble connecting to Outlook, TFS, or anything that uses Windows Authentication? Always getting prompted for your password?

Windows may be caching an old password.

Go to Start –> Run and type: control keymgr.dll

It will open a window that has your saved passwords. Remove anything in there that you don’t want.

Thanks to Justin and Joe at work for this tip!

(Tried under Windows XP Pro; use at your own risk.)
