Sandi's Site
I said "no" to remembering a password. How do I make Internet Explorer ask again?
Passwords are saved in one of two places - in <username>.pwl
or in a cookie stored on the system. For a web page based
password request, you need to find the cookie for the site
in question and delete it.
For password prompt from IE, go to tools, internet options,
content, autocomplete and turn on the option to remember
passwords.
Deleting the DWORD AskUser in the right hand pane of REGEDIT
may help if all else fails.

My computer freezes when I try to delete passwords via Tools, Internet Options, Content, Autocomplete
Since your computer freezes when you try to delete
passwords via tools, internet options, content, autocomplete
I suspect the relevant reg.key is damaged.
Using regedit, back up your registry. Export the following
reg key and then delete it (just the key, not the whole
folder).
