How to delete specific HTTP authentication credentials from Safari (for Windows)?

I use Safari on a Windows XP machine at work. To access the corporate intranet website, Safari asks me the first time to enter my credentials, using a default HTTP(?) authentication dialog box. On subsequent visits, Safari logs me in automatically.

"Manage Your Passwords

Step 1:
Go to the 'AutoFill' section in the Safari Preferences window.

Step 2:
Click on the 'Edit' button to the right of where it says 'User Names and Passwords.' This will bring up a window displaying all of the passwords and usernames that you have authorized Safari to save.

Step 3:
Click on a password listing and push the 'Remove' button in order to delete the password from Safari's memory.

Step 4:
Choose 'Remove All' in order to delete all of the saved passwords.

Step 5:
Manage your passwords as you see fit.

"You should be able to make Safari prompt for credentials again by explicitly specifying wrong credentials:

http://foo:bar@yourintranetserver/

This assuming your actual user and password aren't actually ""foo"" and ""bar"".

You can save it as bookmark calling it ""reset intranet credentials""."
