How do I get IE8 to remember a password after I have already denied having it remember initially?

Question

I logged into a web site the first time and IE asked if I wanted it to remember the password, at the time I thought No, but now, I'd really like it to auto fill and remember.  Any ideas on how to do this? I can't find the button!!  (and no, I ain't sending you any of my passwords to try out! : P  )

Internet Explorer lets you choose never to offer to remember any passwords (on the dialog box where you choose between ‘Yes’ and ‘No’, there’s a checkbox for this). If you select the box and click ‘No’, IE won’t offer to store passwords anymore.

You can reset this selection by resetting IE to default settings (Your favorites will still be retained unless you choose otherwise). To do so:

1.	Open IE (make sure there’s just this one IE window open).
2.	Click ‘Tools’ at the top right corner and click ‘Internet Options’ from the drop-down menu.
3.	Go to the ‘Advanced’ tab.
4.	Click ‘Reset’ and follow the prompts.

The next time you go to the website, you’ll get the prompt to save the password for future use.
