Need more information about your infrastructure to provide a sensible
answer. Here are some 'leading' questions to make sure we're on the same
track:
 - are you looking for single-sign-on?
 - when you are talking windows credentials does that imply AD & domain user
accounts - or is this network a workgroup with just local machine accounts?

Also a couple of pointers/ideas:
 - Generally you don't store passwords - you only ever store a hash of the
password. After the hash of the password is verified, the password itself is
discarded.
If you do store passwords this is a BIG security risk.
 - Have you considerd ADAM (Active Directory Application Mode) as a possible
alternative to SQL server?
