Reset Change Windows 7 Password

Change the password of a saved Remote Desktop connection in Windows 7

Whenever you connect to another computer or server using the Windows 7 remote desktop client, you'll have the option to make it remember your credentials, and a series of matching IP addresses. But as you'll learn in this tutorial, the connection dialog also lets you change part of the settings on-the-fly.

Update your Remote Desktop credentials before connecting

First, launch the remote desktop client, and select the IP address of the destination PC (from dropdown).

• The User name field is un-editable (otherwise, we're talking about a different set of credentials altogether). Click on the "edit" link below the user's name, and the "Windows Security" dialog will open: enter the new password and hit Enter. (Editing allows you to save the connection but update it, whereas selecting "delete" will force you to re-enter everything) Tip: to use another connection to that machine, click on "Use another account" and start over with new credentials.
• If you want to change that connection's settings, click on the "Options" expander button in the lower left corner of the remote desktop dialog: to force it to delete the stored password, click on the "Always ask for credentials" checkbox, and click on the "Save" button (or "Save As" to create a different connection).
• Selecting "Advanced" from the tabs that appeared at the top, you can also customize how Remote Desktop will handle authorization problems: click on the "If server authentication fails" dropdown, and select another option ("Warn me" is the default).
  
• Click on "Settings" to configure advanced or non-standard connection configurations.
• Once you are done, click on the "Connect" button, and Remote Desktop will automatically save your updated credentials if you so chose.
