Windows 7 never remembers my password credential
Solution 1:
OP asked this question elsewhere and has been given an answer that works for me. That is:
- Go to Control panel -> User accounts -> Manage your credentials
- Select the credential in question
- Delete it
- Click "Add a Windows credential" for Windows Credentials, or one of the other categories.
- Input host, login and password
- Persistence of your login has changed to enterprise - will bet kept on logoff.
Somebody, please fix menu namings in my answer for them to be useful for English speaking people.

SOLVED
We are working too hard to fix this... after exhaustive searches, I ran across my note where I have fixed this problem multiple times. It's real easy.
In my case, my workstation is called: Sam and my computer is USER03
The computer on the network I am trying to access is: SOUTHHALL
If I try to log in (simply log in Sam and then my password) and check the remember, it saves in the credentials as:
Internet or Network Address: SOUTHHALL User Name: USER03\Sam Password: *********** Persistence: Logon Session
You need Persistence to say: Enterprise instead of Login Session. Here is how to fix it:
Delete the credentials and add it (in the same place Windows Vault) as:
Internet or Network Address: SOUTHHALL User Name: Sam Password: ********
And it will now save it as Enterprise.
All that you did was remove your computer name of USER03.
I think this has been everyone's problem including mine since we think the syntax that windows creates must be the right syntax. It doesn't need the machine name, only the user.
Let me know if this works for you. I've used it on about 5 workstations and it has worked for me, but I forgot the solution, which turned out to be easy.
Solution 3:
Is it possible that you already saved the wrong password for this account? (Maybe the password changed?) Try going into the password settings and deleting any saved credentials for the account and starting over:
