I am a jr high teacher. we have to login to use the internet. Teachers have a
password and students have a different password (restricted access to net)
I accidently clicked YES to save my password in internet exploerer now
anyone who uses my computer has unlimited access (not good for students)
Is there a way to reset exploerer so that everyone MUST enter a password  
and can i disable the question

Well MacOS X is a multi-user environment. You shouldnt share your
session with other users. I woudl suggest setting up different accounts
for different users on your Mac.

I'm not sure whether IE stores passwords in the keychain, but if it is
the case, you can launch the Keychain application and look for the
corresponding entry. You'll then be able to simply delete the entry from
the Keychain applciation and that should eliminate your problem.

You could use fast user switching and prevent them from using your
account.

Then delete the entries from the Keychain,

:-)

no wonder you can't find the Kaychain application then ;-)
I hope you'll find a solution for you in one of the regular IE groups
