I think you're exactly right about the cause. Here's how
to fix:
Go to Control Panel, then User Accounts. Open your
account. At top left of that window is a link to "Manage
my Network Passwords". Open that link, you'll see a list
of networks, either delete the one for your office, or
open it and enter the new password.

Regards,
Hank
