I was using my mother's computer, and I didnt notice that the remember
me box was clicked. Now I need to remove it, without removing ALL of
HER saved passwords. I tried to click Ctrl+shift+delete, but this
didnt work. Is there something else I should be doing? If I just
change my password, is it going to know the new password too?

well what browser was it??

im assuming its IE since mothers doent seem to be the most
technologically inclined lol

if it is IE -

go to tools> internet options> then on the general tab fine where it
says delete temporary files and hit delete

im not sure since you said its a saved password now, im not much of an
IE fan :)

but if it doesnt work, just change the password

oh but if it is Firefox or something go to
tools> options> security> and go down to the passwords and ba ur
there

Actually, the "remember me" box isn't what caused the password to be saved. This is a function of your web browser, not Gmail. Which browser are you using? We can probably tell you how to remove it once we know that.

BTW, the remember me box just keeps you logged in until you click the "Sign out" link, instead of ending your session when you close your browser.

Make sure you send to the group next time, not just me.
