my network places and passwords

I have a situation where a user had a https connection to an outside site set
up in "my network places." When it was set up the user checked the "save my
password" box in the login. Now the password on the site has changed and
nothing seems to be able to clean out the cached password on the machine.
Deleting the connection didn't work - when they try to set it up again,
windows promptly tries the old user id/password instead of asking for the
user id/password again.

How do I clean this up?

Control Panel /User Accounts /Account Name /Manage my network passwords.
Aka "Stored user names and passwords".
