My apologies if this has been asked before.

I have a laptop running a personal copy of WinXP Pro.
Recently, when I take it to work and try to access
resources that require authentication my network account
gets locked (MS domain type network).

The problems first appeared when I changed my network
password. Does XP cache passwords? Is it trying my old
password to authenticate which after three tries locks my
account? Can I purge the cached passwords if they exist?

Thanks,

Morgan
