Verify that password caching is enabled. To do so, use
Registry Editor to view the DisablePwdCaching DWORD value in
the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Policies\Network
If password caching is disabled, the DisablePwdCaching DWORD
value has a value data of 1. To enable password caching,
change the value data to 0.
NOTE: If the DisablePwdCaching value does not exist, add
this DWORD value with a data value of 0 to the registry key
listed above.
Note that you may need to remove this value altogether, and
then restart your computer to make caching work.
Also note that if you cancel the classic Windows log on, you
won't be able to save password. Disable the password instead
of cancelling:
