SUMMARY

This article describes how to temporarily disable password caching when you are using the Microsoft Service for NetWare Directory Services (MSNDS). Disabling password caching ensures that your password remains secure when other users use your computer.

MORE INFORMATION

To temporarily disable password caching when you are using MSNDS, use one of the following methods:

  • To disable password caching when the Microsoft Client for NetWare Networks is your primary network client, or when the Microsoft Client for NetWare Networks is not your primary network client but the pass- word for your primary network client is null, press and hold down the CTRL key when the Windows 95 logo is displayed. When the first Enter Network Password or Welcome To Windows dialog box is displayed, release the CTRL key.
  • To disable password caching when the Microsoft Client for NetWare Networks is not your primary network client and the password for your primary network client is not null, press and hold down the CTRL key while you click OK in the first Enter Network Password or Welcome To Windows dialog box. When the next Enter Network Password or Welcome to Windows dialog box is displayed, release the CTRL key.
