Click Start>Run. Enter "control userpasswords2" in the Open fieled and
click OK. This will allow you to delete some of the remembered passwords.
Clearing Internet Explorer's caches may also help, but the only good way is
to reformat the hard drive and install Windows afresh.

Of course, you can also use a "factory reset" disk, if you have one.

There are many places where passwords are stored/remembered for
different programs. Use CCleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com/) and check
every option to get rid of *lots* of personal information on your
computer, including login cookies.

As for Outlook passwords, use Control Panel -> Mail to delete all
accounts, which will also get rid of the account login passwords.
