How to log out from network path

I have successfully logged onto a network path. But now I need to log onto that same path with different credentials.

The problem is that when I navigate to that path, I no longer get a login dialog, even after rebooting!

Is there any way to log out of that path so that next time I try to navigate there the login dialog will appear?


Solution 1:

I would check to see if it stored any credentials for that network path in the credential manager.

  1. From the Start menu, select Control Panel.

  2. Click User Accounts.

  3. Click Credential Manager.
  4. In the Windows Credentials and Generic Credentials section, remove any stored credentials referencing shares, network drives or similar: Click (Details).
  5. Click Remove from vault.
  6. Click Yes on the warning box.
  7. Repeat these steps until you remove all of the credentials associated with network shares.
  8. Close the Control Panel window.

Solution 2:

The only way I know if is to do it from a command line:

net use \\someserver\share /DELETE
