Can You UNDO the remember me on this computer feature?
I am mortified that some one may be able to view my mail.
It occurred to me that the little box was checked and unfortunately
my e-mail address AND pass words are stored here?

Do I HAVE to now change my password?

Please help me...
Humbly,
Lisa

Yes.  All you have to do is delete the GMail cookie.  The easiest way to do this is to just delete all cookies.  Depending on what browser you are using, instructions for how to do this will vary, so if you want, you could probably search your browser's help for "delete cookies".  And no, you do not have to change your password.

Also, you can log out (link in upper right hand corner) from Gmail.
Then when you go back to the log in screen, uncheck the remember me
box.

If you are on a public computer, the deleting cookie method is much
more certain to forget you.

Clicking the Sign out link clears the cookie.
