Default Credential storage password

In settings->security there is a credential storage section with an option to set the password. I don't remember ever setting a password for this. Is there a default PW? I'm trying to connect to the Wifi at work but it asks me for this password. Anyone know whats up with this?

The credential storage password is a password to "protect" your saved wifi network passwords. When you log on to a wifi network, the phone saves the "credentials" of the network for later use, and protects them with the password. If you forget the password- or in your case it's simply unknown- enter any password until it threatens you with erasing all your credentials. Keep entering the passwords until it does erase everything (it WILL NOT affect your data). At that point it will ask you to enter a new one, do so and it will allow you to access your wifi. I did the same thing at my University.

Well that didn't work. Does anyone know how you actually delete credential storage passwords?

eskimojoe's instructions worked for me on my eclair xt720, but I also noticed a setting to erase your storage:

Home > location & security > clear storage.

This worked for me on my Evo 3D.

Then I still couldn't connect to the secure network so I forgot it, scanned for open networks, reconnected and was able to enter my user name and password to log on to the network.

Thanks eskimojoe, worked a treat for me on my HTC Desire. reckon from the posts that HTC set to auto enable this function from out the box. Even clearing the storage and setting a new password auto checks use secure credential. Just disable after.
